Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to offer a unique and
beautifully assembled 1962 Austin Healey Sebring replica. Classic
Roadsters LTD was a company that built high quality fiberglass
replicas for AC Cobras and a few other models including the Austin
Healey Sebring. These could be assembled as kits, but some were
built in house by the professionals that designed them. This
example is a Sebring that was assembled by the founder of the
company in their plant in North Dakota. This was professionally
assembled and beautifully finished. The build started with a 1978
Ford Mustang frame. To this, a fiberglass Austin Healey body is
fitted which is finished in pearl white with gold stripes. Housed
beneath the bonnet is a very healthy 350 CID Chevrolet V8. The 350
has been rebuilt with new cam bearings, high volume oil pump, rods,
and main bearings. It has Keith Black pistons with chrome moly
rings. The engine assembly has been balanced and it runs
beautifully with 9 to 1 compression. The engine is nicely dressed
up with chrome oil pan, valve covers, timing cover, and pulleys.
Behind the small block is a TH350 transmission which runs to a
limited slip rear end. This is an open top roadster, but bare boned
it is not. This roadster has a full top which can make it an all
weather vehicle. Not only that, but it also has Air Conditioning!
Other luxuries include new leather upholstery, power brakes, tilt
column, AM/FM stereo, and even a backup camera. You can view this
beautiful 1962 Austin Healey Sebring in greater detail in our
Houston showroom or at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. Please contact
