Re: [Healeys] rare Aston Martin - warning no Healey content

I actually have an Aston-Martin DB2 story.  In 1969 I checked out a DB2 for
sale in Brookline, MA for $1,800.  The original motor was gone and had been
replaced with a Corvette 327.  (I've always been a little nuts for LBCs with
V8s).  I told the seller I'd take it, but he had given first refusal to a bud
of his.  Supposedly had some rallying history and had a huge factory altimeter
in the dash.  The seller's friend took the car and I didn't get it.  Always
wondered where it went.

Saw an Aston Martin DB2r at the body shop today. The only one surviving of two
made. This car is similar but the one at the shop was a factory race car with
two leather hood straps and dual fuel filler caps leading to a large tank in
the back. It even had a third brake light! Beautiful car!
