1957 Austin Healey Other

RARE 1957 Austin Healey body number 652, even Rarer engine, its a 406 CI Ford 405 HP Tri Power from 1961-62 T-Bird. Engine runs good and drives around my cul de sac, rebuilt carbs and new linkage. Has B&M automatic with Ford 9 inch rear end. Professionally built, ex race car with roll bar and soft top frame.
Very little body rust for old Austin Healey, frame in great condition. Needs speedo and tach.I would rewire as its original wiring. New battery and electric fuel pump.
Its a real sleeper, lots of possibility, if you have a M Code 61 or 62 T Bird and need a 406 engine here is your ticket to a big money car and you still would have a valuable Austin to sell or restore. Maybe much more money in selling off pieces, but no time I am moving and cleaning out the shop.
406 engine production very small numbers and how many are left that run, google it!
No title, do have some DMV paperwork( showing I paid fees to transfer it) from when I first bought the car, also haven't found VIN number on the car, title lost and out of DMV system, so sold on bill of sale. I have owned this car for nearly thirty years.
Note: there's a dent in drivers rear fender and also the top panel just above the back seat is bent downwards a little, look like someone sat on it. Need paint job.
Will help load transport, shipping your responsibility. Sold as-is, ask all the questions you like, my number is 916 837 5000. Will not sell other than on Ebay and will not disclose reserve in fairness to the other bidders
