Title: 100-6 project on BAT

Some way down the road.
SBF, Tremec.
Might be a bargain.

Wonder if it will sell for more than the parts cost.

Sold for $15,125.

Considering that finished BV8s often struggle to make that money, one wonders what is planned for it.

There were some premium parts with that car, but there's still a lot of work to do.  I think people build V8 Healeys because they want a V8 Healey and aren't interested in the future investment value.  This one has all the makings of being a really nice car, but it's going to cost the buyer a bunch of money to finish, even if he can do a lot of work himself.
