Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 25th year in the classic and muscle car business. Austin-Healey was a British sports car manufacturer resulting from a joint venture between the Austin division of BMC and the Donald Healey Motor Company that was established in 1952. Healey, a hugely talented engineer and designer, created some of the most iconic British sports cars of the 1950's and 1960's. Naturally, good examples of his cars have skyrocketed in value recently, making it rather .....
stressful to drive original examples. Which brings us to this cool replica from Classic Roadsters Limited that's titled as a 1963 Austin-Healey. Unbuckle the hood straps (!), raise the ''bonnet'', and you'll find a Ford 302 V8 that's been fortified with an Edelbrock carburetor and Torker II aluminum intake manifold, headers, and HEI. Additional features include rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes, 4-speed manual transmission, awesome Brooklands twin racing windscreens, a tilt steering column, beautiful wood dash and Pilot steering wheel, VDO gauges, roll bar, fender mounted race-style mirrors, and 205/70R14 radial tires wrapped around wire wheels. Now an American V8 sounds nothing like a straight 6, but the use of twin resonators in lieu of mufflers sounds pretty close. A cool little car that looks sharp, is fun to drive, and won't break the bank. Another flavor of fun from the Texas Hill Country's premier source for classic cars and the team that can make your dream a reality.
