This is a 1954 Austin-Healey 100 Model BN1, equipped with a high-performance Ford Cobra 289 V8 engine.
It started life with a lumpy Austin four-cylinder engine, and has been extensively modified to accomodate the dramatic increase in horsepower.
It currently runs and drives, but would need some finishing touches to be a reliable driver.
This vehicle has been in the high desert climate of Boise, Idaho area for at least 30 years, and has been stored inside the entire time.
As a result, it shows absolutely no signs of rust or corrosion.
This is the cleanest unrestored Big Healey that I have seen in 30 years!
It would be a great basis for a proper restoration or just minor sorting out to be a fun weekend car.
