Vehicle Details AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 – SEBRING MX WIDE BODYBuilt by Classic Roadsters II Inc, this fiberglass-bodied tribute of an Austin Healey 3000 was built in 1989. Much like the Shelby Cobra tributes, these are very light weight with lots of power.This is powered by a 351 Windsor V8 engine, Edelbrock Finned Aluminum Valve Covers and matching Air Breather, Holley Performance Carburetor, Mallory Electronic Ignition, MSD Coil and Automatic Transmission. It also has duel Stainless Steel Exhaust. Engine starts up immediately. With only 35,350 miles, you can rest assure that this Austin Healey Sebring will be turning heads for years to come.Interior features include a Grant GT wood steering wheel, 5 vintage style VDO instrument gauges mounted to a solid wood dash (120 mph speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure and temperature gauge), tilt steering wheel, low back vintage bucket seats/armrest and a Sony AM/FM radio/cd player. Full carpeting throughout including extra shelf behind the bucket seats and inside the trunk.Exterior features include a wide bodied Sebring MX fiberglass body, louvered hood, twin bullet mirrors, convertible top boot, stone guard headlight covers, drivers/passengers side cobra tinted visors, wire wheels with knockoff spinners and 185/70R-14 tires on the front and wider 205/70R-14 tires on the rear. This car has a GREAT STANCE. The wheels are set slightly outward which gives a more aggressive appearance.These cars run over $40,000 to build and only appreciate in value and fun. The only reason that I am selling is due to my daughters going to college. This car is a blast to drive and gets a lot of looks and thumbs up. I have had a great time taking this for weekend cruises and local car shows. You will feel the power of a large engine and light weight body while driving this car. You will feel the road, bumps, turns etc… The acceleration is outstanding. If you want smooth one finger steering, power/heated seats, pushbutton controls and all of the cushy options of a Miata/Toyota, this car is DEFINITLEY not for you.Some of the known issues I see is that it runs high temp in the summer while driving in the city, traffic or at a slow idle. The temp stays cool while on the highway or when air temp is cooler. Most of my driving is on open country roads with little congestion so I never took it into a mechanic to check the high temps out. The 2 fog lamps will need to be connected into the fuses. There is a 3 inch hairline crack at the top of the windshield from where the visors were added. It has been there for over 5 years and always passed inspection so I never fixed. The gas gauge float may need to be adjusted. The gas gauge works fine except it only goes down to ¼ tank. I have the convertible top boot that I have always kept installed, but it will need a new convertible top. I only drive this on nice weather days so that was never an issue for me. Unfortunately, due to college tuition's time, I do not have the time to drive it and for the past few years, I start it up, drive it locally a few days per month and then park it again. So, I quick engine tune-up will probably be needed. I am not a mechanic, so if I missed anything, please ask. I have always had this car running and it has always been well maintained and garage kept. Feel free to inspect this car in person or have a mechanic inspect it. If you wish to see any additional photos, please let me know. Since I am private seller and not a dealer etc… this car is being sold AS-IS and there is No Warranty. Local Pickup or I can work with a car transport company that you choose. Car is titled as SP CONSTR.
