Restoring Austin Healeys
Powder Springs resident George Pope is shown in a Tuesday 7/31/07 photo as he poses with a vintage 1961 Austin Healey automobile that he plans to restore. Pope is among the increasing numbers of people who collect these classic British autos that have not been manufactured since 1967. Even in this condition, its estimated value is around $8,000, says Pope. At his west Cobb home, Pope lovingly restores these old cars with great care. Andy Sharp
