Title: Interesting Proposition
Post by savagethumper on 04/28/04 at 20:18:41

:) Ya'll might find this funny... Last night I was gassing up the Savage, and a 1959 Austin Healy convertible pulled in the lane next to me. To middle aged women crawled out (literally!), and got to questioning me about my bike. ( How much? What kind is it? How many cc's...etc...) The driver told me she was selling her AH to by a bike for herself. She was very short, and after I let her sit on the bike, she decided that's the kind of bike she wanted. She told me the Austin Healey was for sale for $6500, but she would take my bike in trade even swap. Sorry, I'm not into old foreign cars, but I guess I could've traded, sold it, and bought a new Savage, and had some dough left over.....Oh well....She seem shocked that I turned her down. I need cash, not another old worn out car to take care of. Anyway, thought this might be interesting.

I forgot to mention the condition of this particular Austin Healy. It was about an oil change from being in the junk pile. It might have had some future value if someone painted it and took all 500 dents out of the body. Oh, and she told me the motor was out of a mid-70's Datsun 210. And it was an automatic. C'mon, how many 59 AH's had automatics? If it had been in good shape, with the original parts, I would no longer be submitting topics to this forum. I'd be on the Austin Healy forum. So, am I still a crazy b............!!!! :'(

;D That's cool! It's my fault for not elaborating on the details. I would have thought I was a fool too! Keep the rubber side down!
