My Oher Car. British sports car purists Beware!!!!

Postby CooperS33 » Thu Jan 08, 2009 11:10 pm

Hello Everyone! I have told a few of you in the club about my other car, but I thought it was time to post some pics. It is a '58 Austin Healey bugeye sprite. The engine is a 302 ford with about 425hp, and the trans. is a ford 3spd auto. I'm hoping to run 12's in the 1/4 mile. I got the car when I was 14 and with the help of family and friends shes comin together. Although I really enjoy taking the mini through the corners. To me there is something special about a V8. Enjoy :D -Clayton

It should be about 2400lbs it was originally about 1500 when it was a unibody. But now it is full framed and reinforced. plus the additional weight from the engine etc. When its done I'll see if I can get it weighed.

Better put a windscreen on that Bugeye or you will get 120 mph bugs in your teeth.
