Price: US $38,000.00 SOLD OUT
Presented for your consideration is an Austin Healey BUGEYE Sprite open roadster that has been built from the ground up with a steel tube chassis. It features a customized body, an all leather custom interior and a high performance supercharged small block Chevy engine. This meticulously built roadster shows attention to detail using a lot of stainless steel and polished aluminum parts from the blower to the side pipes. Itâs truly one of a kind! It is not only fun on a warm summer day, but it's a total head turner that gets attention wherever it goes. If you are the kind of car enthusiast that appreciates owning something truly unique, that no one else has, this car might be exactly what youâve been looking for! It has never been raced, tracked or shown but it's very quick and beautiful. The build was completed in 2012. Since that time, it has mostly been garaged and covered with less than 2200 street miles.

Technically, in some states, this car may NOT be considered street legal as it is presented today for the following reasons: It has a Lexan windshield, sidepipes, it doesnât have windshield wipers, and the blower may be considered an obstruction. The build is now 10 years old and while it has not been driven much, as you would expect there are a few minor body & paint chips. There are absolutely no dents or anything obvious that a casual observer would notice. The following are not currently operational: The e-brake is not currently connected and is missing a cable. The brake lights need a new pressure switch. Everything else is operating correctly. As you might expect for something this highly modified, this car is being sold in âAS ISâ condition. Note: The mileage stated in this listing is since the car was fully rebuilt and a new odometer was installed
