Up for bids is this 1955 Austin Healey 100. It is an older restoration and is a runner driver. Runs very well. I did transmission work on it myself as it came to the previous owner with some broken gears. Shifts like a dream now. You can view the content of what I did to it by looking here. http://forums.aaca.org/topic/189401-1955-austin-healey/. Yes, I go by Dandy Dave on the AACA web site. I was told by the previous owner that the motor was rebuilt by a local company just before it started to give transmission trouble. The soft top has several holes, and the bright work shows its age. There is a dent in the left hand head light bezel. Some scratches in the paint, Several rust spots on the frame. Side windows are old and drivers side has a crack. Tires are old but look in good shape with plenty of tread. Engine does not smoke and the over drive works. This is the early overdrive version with two relays under the dash. All the mechanicals are in order. Interior is decent. Enough of my blabber, Look at the photos and see what you think. If you would like to see it in person, Let me know and I will make arrangements. If you would like more photos, contact me and I will give you all you want. We do expect payment in 7 days. If you are bidding from a distance, We can hold the car for up to 90 days but I would urge you to get a reliable transport to get it to you as soon as possible as we do not like being in the storage business. Got Questions? Ask away, I'll answer as best as I can. Thanks for looking and Bid to Win.

The Front and rear bumpers are in very nice condition. I believe that have been re-plated. The Aluminum trim around the driver and passenger compartment has scratches and is dull. Some of the pot metal chrome was redone, but shows some minor pitting that was chromed over. The Grill looks to be original plating and shows it's age same as the windshield frame. The knock off hubcaps have been re-chromed. But under the chrome you can see the hammer marks. There is no 400 point show chrome on the car. If you are looking for a 400 point show car, This is not the car for you. If you are looking for a car that is going to be fun to drive and very serviceable, I believe this is it. Thanks for Looking.

Thanks, Dave!
