Title: Healey + sbc + Muncie
Post by: 88v8 on December 07, 2016, 07:39:15 AM
Said to have been built in the 60s, this 55 Healey could do with a little tidying, and perhaps some narrower tires.
But getting it back on the road may be a lot quicker and cheaper than building your own.

I quite like the unusual nose, but the oversize wheels and arches make it look, well, cartoonish.

I see the seller using that implication, but doesn't look like Ed Roth's style to me.  And I can't find anything linking it to him by googling except various versions of the seller's ad.

I wonder if it was sold offline, bidding ended moniker, is that what that means?
