Sander, How you choose to restore your car is up to you. I'm just glad you are they didn't make many of these so so keeping ...   01-29-2023 04:45 pm

Vance, I don't know if the Stag seats are the same or will fit the Jensen-Healey but it's not really necessary to try them since everything ...   01-17-2023 03:06 pm

Vance, Since your primary need is a floor mat it sounds like the big stuff is in good order including the most important thing to do ...   01-10-2023 07:27 pm

Vance, I had a feeling you'd be showing up here sooner or later. Congratulations on your latest acquisition and welcome to the asylum. You may know ...   12-30-2022 05:38 pm

This one's a real beauty and super clean. IMO the way to buy one, let someone else do the work unless you're dying to do ...   09-24-2022 03:21 pm

Bruce, Lesson learned. I gave up on Chinese parts years ago after a number of premature part failures and ill fitting parts. I didn't notice when ...   09-02-2022 06:46 pm

Jh092, The idle you're talking about (850 to 950) is for a stock motor, your mill is far from stock. My '67 El Camino has a ...   08-15-2022 01:57 pm

Mark, I'd say you're right about those marks being made by a machinist or builder after the fact. The good news it probably means your motor ...   07-23-2022 03:35 pm

Jh092, You and I are car guys and like doing things right the first time but not everybody who drove these cars were. There was a ...   07-18-2022 04:58 pm

jomac, I'm glad it turned out the way you wanted because it does sound cheap or easy. ...   07-18-2022 04:43 pm

Disco, What really caught my eye was that stunning Eclat, probably a '77. They are even rarer than our J/Hs and are powered with the same ...   07-12-2022 04:40 pm

Rdinstel, There isn't that much under a J/H dash that could cause that problem, Disco has identified the two most likely culprits. If you get your ...   07-12-2022 04:09 pm

Stuart, Congrats on your new (to you) car, they are wonderful unappreciated cars, hope you like it. In answer to your questions: 1) Factory psi (24/24) should ...   06-30-2022 03:08 pm

A '74 Jensen-Healey just sold on BaT for $14,250, a good price for the seller and a good value for the buyer. This seems to ...   06-29-2022 04:27 pm

Carone, Keep in mind that LBC and easily are rarely used in the same sentence. Can it be done easily, in a word "No". First you'll need ...   06-25-2022 02:49 pm

Carone, Sounds like you got a big thumbs up from Bruce, that's a good thing. Contacting the seller will be the best way to get more ...   06-24-2022 06:33 pm

Bruce, While we're on the subject of extra equipment, on BaT there's a '75 VIN #19971 with some things I've never seen before. There's a cylinder ...   06-23-2022 04:51 pm

Bruce, Smog testing in CA started in 1984. Before that smog equipment was required on CA cars but nobody inspected it or tested it. In '84 when ...   06-22-2022 03:00 pm

Carone, Lots of red flags here, where do I begin. Lets start with the year, in 1978 Jensen Motors had been out of business for two ...   06-20-2022 03:01 pm

Jh092, I think the real adventure started the day you bought the car! When you're encountering these PO "fixes" keep in mind they were done to keep ...   05-31-2022 03:00 pm

Poorichard, First, congratulations on your acquisition. Second, 810 miles! Don't leave us hanging there's got to be a story behind this one, oh and feel free to ...   05-14-2022 01:18 pm

Ed, Do you know for sure your the booster is bad? Brake problems are usually found elsewhere, brake boosters are usually pretty bulletproof. When it comes to ...   05-08-2022 03:36 pm

gswords3, Great find, congratulations. My VIN is 19661 so our cars are pretty close. Your best source of car history will be the seller and any paperwork ...   05-06-2022 04:28 pm

Sander, A nice GT to be sure, it still needs a few things (headliner, seats for example) but for the price not a bad deal. Like you ...   04-06-2022 02:51 pm

If you're unfortunate enough to have an engine fire the first thing you should do on your way out of the car is pop the ...   03-09-2022 02:27 pm

It just sold for 15,350, a lot of car for the money I thought. ...   02-24-2022 09:57 pm

Very original right down to the door speakers. Not a big fan of the blackout though, I'd strip to bare metal the side markers, tail ...   02-18-2022 05:49 pm

Unfortunately it sounds like the new owner wants to turn it into some kind of racecar. As far as I know no one raced the ...   02-12-2022 03:05 pm

Jh092, I see you've been surfing past threads on the message board. Good idea, lots of good information available especially for new owners. As you can ...   02-07-2022 02:33 pm

Mark, Looks like you found a very nice fairly original car. I really like the original mustard yellow paint, I'd keep that as long as possible. Looks ...   11-25-2021 04:44 pm

Jomac, You could also drop the front suspension and steering, it basically comes out as a unit, Ant did it on Wheeler Dealers. You'll have to ...   11-16-2021 05:36 pm

Mark, All good stuff from Tim, one of the go to guys on this board. I wouldn't be overly concerned about small oil leaks it is ...   11-02-2021 02:48 pm

Mark, It's your call of course, but unless it's really close, or really cheap, or has the engine mods you want I'd keep looking. IMO the early ...   10-30-2021 06:25 pm

A silver Jensen GT just sold on BaT foe 10K, a very good price I thought. It was sold as a project but it was ...   10-28-2021 03:31 pm

Mark, If you eventually need a transport service you definitely need to shop around, $3,500 sounds REALLY high. I shipped my '67 El Camino from Florida ...   10-17-2021 03:09 pm

Mark, Not sure how you want to go but this one looks like a nice stock clean driver at a good price. Add around $1,500 to ...   10-15-2021 04:59 pm

Don, It's probably a Robbins tonneau they don't have headrest pockets. You can tilt the seatbacks forward or do what I did just remove the headrests ...   10-15-2021 04:27 pm

Mark, If you could fit in any LBC this would probably be the one. Unless this guy has made you a offer you can't refuse I wouldn't ...   10-07-2021 07:05 pm

I didn't even know you could still get paper gaskets. The first time I did a valve adjustment was about twenty years ago and even ...   09-25-2021 05:03 pm

Disco, That is indeed a very nice stock J/H, but expensive as you say. As can be seen on this thread alone, you can get a ...   07-27-2021 02:55 pm
