Thanks alot Mark! I was almost out the door on my way to Indianapolis
when I caught the tail of this message... *sigh* If I had only known
then what I know now... Of course I didn't have my drivers license
until 1981, so I guess it didn't really matter...
I can remember back 10 years ago (I think) when Mark Holl and I went
to an Austin Healy meet in PA. There was a perfect '67 AH 3000 for
sale priced around $6000. I really wanted that to be my first car but
I probably wouldn't have taken the best care of it back then either...
It's amazing how much prices have changed... I wonder what those
prices did after the '74 Oil "crisis".
