Finished in a bright red this 3000 replica is a sight to behold. As you walk around the vehicle you'll notice nice details like proper chrome trim, simulated hood vents and dual exhaust.

Under the hood is a 383 Chevy stroker and is paired with a turbo 350 automatic. Imagine how this light little car can get up and go! If you're looking for a car with Austin Healey style without the high end price tag and the high anxiety of driving through traffic this is the one you want to own! Options include manual convertible top, tilt wheel, vinyl interior, seat belts and radial tires.
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.
