Stopped by Heath Upolstery Shop today and Tom showed me what got him in trouble with the Mrs. LOL I am jealous. An early Healy with a Vete motor! Came with all the fenders, doors etc. Minor rust for a car that has set outside for the last couple years. Tom fired the engine for me and it sounds healthy. Check out the early Creitz cast air cleaner!
I've been in love with the big Healeys since I first saw one in the mid-50's. I did a 289 Ford/T1-0 swap into a 3000 in the 60's for a friend. It drove and handled the same, just a lot faster. I still might get one - probably when pigs fly at the present rate of project completion. Nice score. Charlie
had a couple of big Healy's...used to be a guy in Rock Hill S.C. that raced them with sbc and Buick wheels..He was President of the Austin Healy Club of America at the time (or later)..anybody remember...d32
At least you're trying to clean your garage out these days Hope you're makin progress. My dad's a hell of a bench racer, if you need an audience. He might even help turn a wrench or two. He was just happy to see Hogie, down in Grand Haven, driving his old Duece Tudor. (first time he's seen it since the late sixties) Hope all is well, Jeremy
