1960 Austin Healey Sprite Convertible

Austin Healey Sprite Convertible (1960)
for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

I bought this car based on the fact that is was a running, driving bugeye for relatively short money. It is a great looking car, starts right up, drives fine. I'm not a sprite guy, so I think this is a 1275cc, but there is no engine tag. It has a downdraft weber and header, telescopic tube shocks on all four corners, disc brakes and brand new minilite wheels. I was going to fix it up and sell it on, but I found a really nice MGA racer that I want to put my money into. This has a FACTORY hardtop and side screens (hardtops are around $1200 alone these days), side screens are usually around $300-400 for the original factory weather shields. This car needs finishing. It needs the following: Floors, new shocks, bonnet hold down clamps, needs the headlight switch hooked up.Great little car, just needs the right person to take it to the next level. Front hood is fiberglass, rear body tub is fiberglass (this is a real bugeye, not a midget). The rocker panels are steel with a fiberglass cover. Doors are steel. Interior is restored and nice, just needs to be tidied up. You won't find a nice bugeye for entry level price like this. Come out and look at this car, come and drive it, see what you want to look at on my lift. Reach me here at this phone number: 703 244 9758. Call if any questions. Thanks for looking at my auction.

Condition:Seller Notes:
Used
“Car has a fiberglass front nose, rear body and rocker panels. I believe this car to be a prototype for a fiberglass body. It seems to be much thicker than other aftermarket fiberglass bodies. It does not look like a kit, but rather a prototype or the first version of a fiberglass body due to how thick the fiberglass is. This car is not fully finished, it will need to have its floors replaced as they are in need of attention. I encourage any and all potential buyers to come out an take a look, drive the car and see for yourself that this is a great project car.”
