My Dad bought it and then bought a Jag XK 150 Coupe. The Healey defaulted to me my senior year of H.S and first year of college. What a time! Too bad I threw a rod over-revving that old truck engine. Then my Mom's old '53 Ford wagon became my college car. The 100-6 muffler was so low I had to get it welded at least once a month. Best sports car sound ever! The c.g. was so low I wore out a set of tires in six months drifting up Chevy Chase Canyon in L.A. Great memories. Bill Lawlor
