No too terribly bad for an original condition car, with the less desirable engine and a manufacturing year that is not that desitable.

A Shame you do not like the proper AC Engine, it stood AC in good stead for many years, i look forward to seeing how some perform this season!!

I am shocked and appalled. Surely you are not referring to that noisey, overheating little war reparation lump.

In deed - AEX456 was sold for $214.5K inclusive of the buyers fee. My thanks to Shelby Walker(d), Tom Ellsworth, and Dr.James Kanedy for the obvious care and attention that the car received in the 53 years prior to my stewardship. The car needed very little other than fluid changes, a new fuel loom and some attention to minor leaks to be road-worthy. It ran perfectly even in the early summer heat in Phoenix. In an area rife with Cobras of various species, the Ace drew lots of knowing admirers at local Cars and Coffee shows.
   
   Lots of fun, but time for someone else to enjoy.

My finger slipped before I had finished - I meant to
   say "with BE772 still in the garage"
