Since when have restoration costs had anything to do with auction prices?
Cars sell every day "for less than it would cost to restore that car" -- at
least
five of them in the last two days have gotten that comment. Yes it costs
around $75,000 to have a Healey restored to your exact specifications by a good
shop in, say, central California. On the other hand, an E-Type will cost much
more and it isn't pulling their prices up. We've got something else going on
here.
