Check this yellow thing out.
It a Austin Healey 3000 “replica” that was made in the 80's. the body is all fiber glass, with a color gel coat. This was built by a company call Classic Roadsters LTD that built MGAs and these out of a small factory in Fargo ND of all places. The company has long sinc e gone bankrupt . I t’s got some chunky wheels and tires that hint at what’’s under the hood. A Chevy 350, which unfortunately is cupolaed to an automatic trans.
de spi te that this seems like a “cheap” way to get a classic little sports car, and I think the transmission could be fix relativity easily.
the interior is basic and nice looking aside from a IMO tacky steering wheel.
The asking price is 15,500 which seems like a steal when you consider original Healey’s are going for 50-80,000 right now. and this is half the price of many Porsche 356 Replica’s.

I’m curious what the chassis is derived from, or if they built a copy of the original chassis. Very interesting car though!

Ugly wheels, ugly steering wheel. I'd say np if you didn't want to swap the trans.

For that amount of money, I’d rather have many other newer/better vehicles.

I am not real familiar with these but am real familiar with Austin Healeys. I doubt they built a copy of the original chassis, as it was a fairly complex bit of pressings and welds. I think the Sebring Healey Roadster Replicas were built on a tube frame.

I get that argument, but I want an old roadster. Something that specifically isn’t modern.

Yeah... I get that. But I think it’s too much for what that is.
