Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery of Indy is pleased to offer this HOT 1965 Sebring
MX Austin Healey Replica for your consideration. This vehicle
offers a combination of British elegance, American Muscle and an
alternative to someone that might be in the market for a Cobra Kit
Car. Powering this lightweight pocket rocket is a well established
350 Chevy Small Block backed by a Turbo 350 transmission and a
Chevy rear end. The strong running 350 engine is topped off by 2
Edelbrock 4 BBL carbs. A ratchet shifter allows the seller to bang
through the gears. Upgrades include; a new aluminum radiator and
fan, electric cut outs for the exhaust to allow the driver to go
from the quiet mufflers to the rowdy sidepipes, functioning air
condition, heat, and defroster, new Bluetooth stereo, and
speaker/subwoofer, ect... This is basically a 1965 Austin Healey
3000 with all the upgrades done and none of the defects from the
original Healey's. Drive this one out of our showroom or have us
assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the United States! Don't
hesitate to give us a call with any questions or for more
information.
Over the years, the cars were sold to privateers who raced and
rallied them. In later years, the Sebring Sprite became a prized
possession and the object of veneration within the Austin-Healey
fraternity. Enthusiasts sought out the cars, sometimes discovering
them in advanced stages of deterioration. Today, the cars are
cherished classics that can be driven to and from competitions just
like the originals were in their day. Subsequently, numbers of
other Sprites were modified as period replicas of the original
Speedwell GTs and Sprinzel Sebring Sprites, built to the same
homologated specification. One such car is the "Lumbertubs" Sprite,
built in 1963 by brothers Brian and Ken Myers and named for the
lane they lived on. The alloy roof was crafted by Alan Thompson of
Aston Martin and a fibreglass Williams & Pritchard Sprinzel Sebring
bonnet was fitted. It later acquired a Ford engine and gearbox,
gaining some success in sprints and hillclimbs and a class win at
Silverstone on 24 June 1967.
