1990 Austin Healey Other

1992 Replica/Kit Makes Sebring 5000

This Sebring 5000 is an Austin-Healey 3000 MX replica. Assembled in 1990 by Classic Roadsters of Fargo, North Dakota in their assembly plant, the fiberglass bodyis mounted on a steel chassis featuring Mustang II front suspension and a Ford 8″ Trac Lok rear end. The 302ci Chevrolet V8 is backed by a Muncie M22 4-speed manual gearbox and equipped with aluminum heads, Hilborn fuel injection, solid lift roller camshaft, roller rockers, and more. The Pennsylvania-based seller acquired the car in 2015, and commissioned an interior refurbishment and exterior repaint. The odometer now shows 71k miles, and an inspection was performed in preparation for the sale. This Sebring 5000 is now being offered with recent records and a clean Pennsylvania title.

The fiberglass body features flared wheel arches and a faux vented hood with a functional (and removable) scoop. Curb weight is said to be approximately 2,200 pounds. The current red-and-tan paint scheme was applied during the seller's ownership, and new chrome bumpers and mounting brackets have also been installed. Some flaking is noted on the chrome grille surround.

The tan convertible roof is original to the car and can be seen up close in the gallery, and it stows nicely beneath the tonneau boot. Knock-off Dayton wire wheels measure 7" wide at the front and 8" at the rear. They are mounted with BFGoodrich tires all around.

The cockpit was refurbished in 2018 and features a wood dash housing VDO gauges, climate controls, and a Blaupunkt CD player. A small-diameter banjo-style wheel and Hurst shifter are equipped. 71k miles are shown on the odometer, around 500 of which have been added by the seller.

Padded bucket seats are upholstered in tan leatherette, and 5-point RJS harnesses are equipped for both driver and passenger.

The trunk is lined with a carpeted mat and contains a jack and spinner mallet. A new 16 gallon fuel tank and fuel pump with all new fuel lines were installed during the seller's ownership.

The 302ci Chevy small block was installed during the seller's ownership with 11:1 compression pistons, a solid-lifter roller camshaft, roller rockers, aluminum heads, custom headers, electronic ignition, and a tunable Hilborn EFI system with velocity stacks. The seller states that the build has been featured on the Hilborn website and is estimated to produce 485 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. There is less than 500 miles on the new drive train. This car runs on pump gas.

The rebuilt Muncie M22 "Rock Crusher" gearbox features a new flywheel, Centerforce clutch and pressure plate, and custom-cut gears. It routes power to a Ford 8" Trac Lok positraction rear differential guaranteed to hold 550 hp. Service records from the seller's ownership are included, and an inspection was conducted in December 2018.
