For Sale: 1962 Austin-Healey Sebring in Lutz, Florida

Cobra replicas are cool, but how about an even more unique European-inspired design that also has a V8 at its heart? Take a good look at this 1962 Austin-Healey Sebring 5000 replica, which like the Cobras, is filled with a performance Ford motor and that kind of restro-cool look that makes these Anglo-American mixes so appealing. In fact, the flared fenders, roll hoop, racing seatbelts, louvered hood, racing stripes, and side pipes seem right out of the Shelby playbook. But this is no Cobra impersonator. The Healey's graceful grille is your first hint at a more well-rounded machine. There's also a full folding top, roll-up windows, a tilt steering column, and a Bluetooth stereo for better cruising than a Cobra. And we absolutely love the more recent investment in the Healey-style bucket seats done in black leather with sporty red piping. It's all part of a total package where there have been solid investments designed to get you excited even before you hear the V8 rumble.

We have made plenty of Cobra references when looking at this Healey, and it should all be taken as a compliment. After all, the Shelby cars are terrific at getting us in touch with a driving spirit that's both vintage and authentic. This V8-powered drop-top excels at that, too. The difference here is that the style is even more distinct and the features list is much longer for a more practical car. So when you think about the price of a Cobra, this Healey costs less but gives you so much more. That's why it's irresistible. Call today!!!
