Description

If you've been looking for that 1 in a million classic sports car with modern power and drivability, lease read the following description.

Starting with a '62 Healey 3000 BT-7, he owner/builder stripped the Healey down to the frame, and blasted it and started a frame-off restoration. The chassis was epoxy primed and then Imron painted. A Ford 8.8 inch limited slip rear end with 3:55 gears was installed with shortened axles. A 5 litre H.O. EFI mustang V/8 was installed and coupled to an AOD 4 speed transmission. Power front disc and drum rear brakes were then installed. A complete new wiring harness was installed and a complete set of new gauges were fitted in the dash, hich is surrounded by a mahogany trimmed interior. Seats were covered in leather and even a power antenna was installed. Because of the inherent dangers of the old "harpoon" stylesteering shaft on these cars, he owner/builder installed a collapsible steering column. A stainless steel exhaust was fabricated and fitted to the car.

Once the mechanicals were installed the owner turned to the body. Dark green paint, new black convertible top with a tonneau cover was installed and fitted around a new steel roll bar. Shoulder harness driver and passenger seat belts were bolted in. Aluminum side curtains with plexiglass windows were fashioned and fitted. Fender vents, and crafted steel fender flares and the crowning touch.......an original fiberglass hardtop gives this great car the classSebring look!

NOTE: if you would like to check on the owner/builders qualifications, e refer you to the October 2010 issue of Hot Rod magazine or you can Google "Jim Riley" or Jag Deuce". The article features a 1932 Ford roadsterfitted with an Jaguar engine that he built and drives to this day. Reading this article will show you the talents exhibited by the builder/owner of both the '32 ford and the '62 Healey.
