I know the seller, he's a good guy. Pretty sweet package deal, keep or resell the GT and have almost free (or free) Jensen Healeys for the challenge.

Seller said: Ultra rare 1976 Jensen GT, one of only 509 ever made! Clear title. The Lotus 907 engine ran well, but the carbs were leaking, so they have been removed for rebuilding, which the buyer will have to do. The engine is out of a '74 Jensen Healey, but the GT's original engine (which ran, but not as well) is sitting in the aforementioned 1974 Jensen Healey convertible, which is very restoreable, and is also included! Additionally, there is a 1973 Jensen Healey 'vert that goes with the other two, only it's in much rougher shape. It has a core short block, and the 4 speed trans, instead of the 5 speed. Both convertibles have clear titles as well. If you are keeping track, that's THREE rare, classic cars with clear titles being sold together for one low price! The GT and the convertibles were stored indoors from 1991 to 2011. The GT has a near mint interior, decent body with some repairable rust issues, and is complete and seems road-ready except for the carbs, which are included. The only serious rust spot is in the front of the passenger side rocker panel, and a new replacement is included. The '74 is decent inside, and has repairable rust issues. The '73 is a pile, and should be considered a parts car only. You can take one or all for the low price of $3,900 OBO. The GT alone is worth that and more! Alternatively, you can pull whatever parts you like from the Jensen Healey(s), and leave the stripped carcass(es) behind, if you just want one or two. 301-6seven five-8zero06 SERIOUS buyers with CASH IN HAND only, please. Delivery may be available for all 3 at once, in an enclosed 53' trailer, if prepaid in full. Lots of pics: http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af172/kirchbed/Jensens/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ20

I want one badly. Alas, I won't buy a car that I can't drive home.
