I own a 56 100 V8 conversion that mostly looks stock and love it,but this just looks wrong! I do like the Hemi though .

Not only wrong, obscene. I wonder what motivates people sometimes.

I'm more partial to the stock look as well, but keeping those dual quads under a standard hood would be difficult. That must be one wild ride, though.

Criminal what some people do to cars .

It looks like it belongs on a drag strip. It is someones Hot Rod, not really much of a Healey anymore. It's not really in my taste, and all that tuck and roller upholstery is just too much for a little cockpit.

I'm in favor of people being able to do what makes them happy as long as nobody gets hurt in any way. That being said, to me that is a waste of a perfectly good fold down windshield assembly and nice looking grill . At least they didn't waste a good steering wheel and trafficator. Maybe those went to someone who needed them. LOL

Dido....

And nobody has mentioned the part of the ad that says "... real all aluminum body car " Hope it really isn't one of the all aluminum ones.

 

[Michael Oritt]

Perhaps he needs to change "looks stock" to "looks shock".

A lot of time and money spent that could have gone a long way to put it back original. Might have gotten a little more back on the investment that way. Wonder if you can see forward enough to safely drive it.

I wonder what they actually started with? Does not look like there is very much if any of the original frame and substructure. Perhaps is was too far gone? I think it looks hideous to be honest.

and I'm afraid to drill holes in My fenders for mirrors.

Check this one out! This one has potential to be a a very nice looking car. The flat fender flairs and front lip ruin it though.

Somehow, 'Skunk Works' seems appropriate (but I think Kelly Johnson would have been appalled).

I'll keep a look out for your old Nasty Boy! California is the natural habitat of and one of the spiritual homes of the v8 Healey :joyous:
