I sold my "Fire Breathing Cobra" replica in January and had been looking for one of these for several years!! Top, roll up windows, heat & AC.....actually like a real car......Cobra is a "4-Wheel Motorcycle"!!:eek:

The video is just a quick walk around to see and hear it.......the guy lives here in SC and is just as meticulous as I am....maybe more so!!:beer:

Pickin' it up with an enclosed car hauler tomorrow....in the rain.....oh well!!;)

Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CXlI3XcNu4

'67 Austin-Healey Replica with a 5.0 Roller Motor....the thing is actually very strong and streeable!!;)

Cannot wait to get it here and finish it.......still needs wipers, side windows and AC installed!!:beer:

Congratulations! That thing looks awesome and sounds pretty mean. One of my former coworkers had a couple bug eyed sprites in British Racing Green when he was around 20 or so.

Thanks.......I actually had a Healey 3000 back in 1967 but it was a NIGHTMARE!!!:eek::shake:

These little cars are what they should have been from the beginning but it took awhile for them to come around!!

Now there is a company in England called Sebring International that builds them with V-6's and Lexus V-8's......they say body parts are available from them since Classic Roadsters (the Kit Manufacturer here) went away a few years back!!:confused:

Hope I don't need any body parts 'cause that will mean I may need body part for me too!!:eek:

A friend had a few 3000. I used to work on them and drove them a few times. Twindshield and 2nd gear were worthless. His brother moved to CA with one of them. I liked them as a toy and not as trans.

Back in 65 my freind had a AH, we put a 283 duel 4 barrels in it with a three speed stick, actually had the engine almost laying in the frame, not much bolted to hold it in. Fast? OH ya but almost a death trap! straight pipes, no mufflers, got more tickets in that car almost weekly! Got one word for it F U N !!!!!!
