for sale

Price: US $3,000.00

Description:

I bought this Austin Healey Bug Eye to be used as a parts car. But after bringing it home I realized this complete car can be rescued by someone with time. This car is complete. No body dents. has several rust areas. I really do not have a need for a parts car at this time. My other Bug Eye is complete. I found this car in someone's backyard rusting in a shed for last 18 years. I am a British Car Collector and felt so sad to see this car rusting.
According to the previous owner, it ran 18 years ago. The reason for parking the car was that it started having some carburetor issues. He ordered the parts 18 years ago, but had to leave to East Coast for new employment. This car needs new floor boards, new seats, new steering wheel, and some body panel work. Engine is not locked. In the pictures engine looks rusted. It is the red paint not the rust. Wheels are not locked. Wiring appears to be in good condition. Body is very straight. It was never wrecked.
Hope someone can bring this back to life.
