You say very restorable. From the picture it looks not inviting to me.

There is much more than only surface rust on it.

Hello,

=20

I used to be on the Healey list several years ago and I dropped off after=
=20
my 1962 BT7 restoration project went into hibernation.  I recently signed=
=20
back on to the list when the restoration project re-awakened.  I look=20
forward to seeing the Healey discussions as I move forward, especially=20
those related to restoration of the 3000=E2=80=99s.

=20

Another reason I signed back onto the list is because I wanted to share=20
something I found rather exciting; a 1959 BT7 =E2=80=9CBARN FIND=E2=80=9D. =
 This has never=20
happened to me before and I almost couldn=E2=80=99t believe it when I saw i=
t!  I=20
was down in Mexico on a mission trip with my church.  We were driving down=
=20
a gravel road in the middle of nowhere and I saw it sitting in an old=20
garage well away from the road.  I made them stop the van and I ran to take=
=20
pictures.  I don=E2=80=99t know about the rules for attaching photos on the=
 list=20
but hopefully it=E2=80=99s not a problem.  I have several photos but only a=
ttached=20
one that I compressed to less than 300 kb.  (Can someone tell me the rules=
=20
regarding this?)  Anyway, although the car looks like it has been sitting=
=20
for many years it=E2=80=99s complete and very restorable.  I=E2=80=99m tryi=
ng to find a way=20
to contact the owner to see if he wants to sell it.  I also need to check=
=20
into the rules for importing antique vehicles from Mexico.  Lastly, I need=
=20
to find a reliable resource for calculating the value of an unrestored car.

Thanks,
Dan Corning
