1968 Fibre Fab Jamaican Austin Healey
Built in 1968 by Fibre Fab in California. Was imported to Australia in 1970.
Orginally L/H drive and has been converted to R/H drive.
Fibreglass body sits on an Austin Healy 3000 chassis. Has a rebuilt triumph 2500 engine and g/box in it at the moment. Any small block V8 would work well as well. Wheels are new 16" Performace Wheels Spline drives.
Have some history from purchase in 1996. Has FibreFab S/N of 1515555
Engine is running. All suspension etc has been overhauled.
This car is only one in existance in Australia.
Requires finishing work to complete such as, finish installing engine, complete wiring, find and fit door latches, interior trim, fit heater, fit window wipers etc.
Have the following items windows front/back and rubbers and trims, window wipers & mechanisms, door windows, heater unit.
Does require fair amount of work to finish but will be the only one to be seen in Aus. Has an estimated value of $50 - $60 000 when completed by Unique Cars magazine.
Still lots of work to go. Has a nice shape don't you think?
