Description:

This Austin Healey is fully restored and ready to go racing. This car has a frame off restoration done about 5 years ago which included a full underbody coating and a first class paint job with a bright white racing stripe. The engine was upgraded from the standard 948 cc to a CJ1275 with no emissions devices and the front brakes were up graded to disc brakes. The interior was restored with racing seats and steering wheel and era correct racing mags were added with Pirelli race tires. The car ran a few private rally races and the owner mothballed the car during a divorce. It sat in storage for 2 years when I found it and bought it.
I finished the restoration with the following: rebuild the generator, replace the voltage regulator, replace the starter, replace the entire wiring in the car, rebuild the carburetors, replace the battery, replace both front end shocks, replace suspension bushings and fulcrums (tie rods), replace master cylinder and a new brake job, replace spark plugs & wires, replace transmission linkage, replace the u-joints, coat interior of gas tank, replace the ignition switch, and repair/replace all of the interior switches which were removed for the race circuit. I bought a brand new top which has never seen sunlight and a new car dust cover. I made sure that the headlights, turn signals, horn, temp gauge, oil pressure gauge, and fuel gauge worked. Once the car was road ready, I changed all the fluids and took her for a 75 mile drive. She runs like new and is a perfect mix of race track and road car. She loves third gear and roars to life from 25 to 60 miles an hour like a good rally car should. The oil pressure sits at 60 psi and the temp rides at about 195 unless you are burning through the gears which causes it to climb to about 205 degrees.
So what's left to do? The driver's side carpet is loose and the driver's side door needs a new seal. The slave cylinder for the clutch works fine but could be replaced if you want to truly rally race her. That's it.
