Austin-Healey 100 350 CID V8 1957
General description :
This 1957 Austin Healey is for sale in our Indianapolis showroom. The 57 Austin Healey was a new and sleeker model which us Americans absolutely loved. The only problem with these little 2 seaters was the underpowered engine. This 57 Austin has addressed that problem in a huge way. Gone is the inadequate 6-cylinder engine and in its place, is 375 HP 350 cubic inch piece of American muscle. Pulled from an 86 Corvette and completely gone through, this small block is right. The TPI ignition was pulled and in its place, is a dual quad setup that not only performs but looks good while doing it. The paint and body work on the car is extremely clean and shows extremely well. The brightwork is a nice contrast against the white paint and gives the car a very finished look. Peek inside in the cockpit and the black interior is just as clean. The buckets upfront are period correct and look right at home. The shifter is in the original spot and looks like a 4 speed but is an automatic. Yes, that’s right the shifter is hooked up to a built TH400 making this car an absolute pleasure to drive. Just simply hit the gas and hold on. Granted you may need to keep it pointed straight but you get the idea. With its striking good looks and amazing drivetrain this little Austin is sure to make a great show piece or a weekend driver Options on this 1957 Austin Healey include, Seat Belts, Leather Interior, and Wire Wheels wrapped in Radial Tires.

About Austin-Healey
Austin-Healey was a British sports car make created as a joint-venture between the Austin division of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and the Donald Healey Motor Company. First Healey model, Healey 100, was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and developed by Donald Healey to be build in-house. They finished a single Healey Hundred for the 1952 London Motor Show. Leonard Lord, managing director of Austin was so impressed by the design that a deal was duly struck with Healey and the car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100 overnight. Austin Healey was born. 100 derived into 100-six, and different 3000 versions before they quit the production in 1968 as the basic design had finally become obsolete.
