Looks like maybe a wheel stud is missing. If so, I'd be curious to know the type -- threaded or pressed. I need to order one and am not sure how to tell the type.

yep youre right.. ill know whats up when i pick it up in two weeks!!!

EDIT: Well we all made it home allright, 450 miles or so with no (real) problems! 24435996F is now safely garaged in NJ. Time to go through it and clean her up. -And order some wheel studs! My front wheels have 3/4" lug nuts and my rears are 15/16"! So something is off.

24435996F 1969 Poppy Red, 85k miles, in good running shape. I just bought it from a really nice enthusiast in Maine, it will be on its way to New Jersey in a few weeks. Was originally sold in Maine, spent most of its life in TX, ended back in Maine, and now on its way to NJ for moderate upgrading and years of adventuring!!!!

I purchased the 69 Bugeye 24435501F from Harry yesterday.

Now that I see he also JUST plucked his from Seattle, I understand why he had a new box of heavy duty jack stands, and a creeper in the back... I headed to Sears last week for the same thing.

Glad you posted, Eric. Maybe not a bugeye, but clearly a Series II, and quite handsome. Nice Healey, too!

The Bob I chased down?

Hello Bugeye's!

We're new 69 IIa owners... but looks like it's not a bugeye... barely... 24438008G. That said, we just plucked it from Redmond, WA two weeks ago, and hauled it down to Tigard, Oregon, and are SUPER happy about it!

Anyways, I'm replying to Bob's post, because, (i believe) he just drove by my house a few hours ago... I have a nice view out the window, from my home office, and after I saw him chugging up the hill, tracked down my keys, searched for some shoes, found a hat, then I ran out, jumped in my car, and chased him down... It wasn't hard, I think I could have also grabbed lunch...

As we blocked traffic, chatting for a minute, he said to post in the Bugeye registry here, and he'd keep an eye out. I was excited to see another 69 IIa owner lives so close! We obviously need to hook up!

Now that I see he also JUST plucked his from Seattle, I understand why he had a new box of heavy duty jack stands, and a creeper in the back... I headed to Sears last week for the same thing.

Here's a pic of our new boy... Has to be a boy... Our '63 Austin Healey MkIII is obviously his big sister... Just need a name... Should be "Rusty"... but I'm hoping that isn't a good long term name!

Be sure to look for 9,999 future posts with questions....

Best,
Eric & Cindy
Tigard, OR

Thanks for posting. I'll update the registry listing with your information. BTW, my sister lives on the other side of the canyon in Cool. Send more photos of how nice and dry it is out there, thanks.

Only picture I have right now. Mechanically in good condition considering the age. Some surface rust and moldy carpet I need to address. Also lots of old, unused mystery wiring
