Nash-Healey on Ebay

[TRMark]

I think this would make a nice hot rod, since it may not be restorable to original. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nash-Heale...e6281035:g:MpQAAOSwxN5WVN0T&item=291624194101

Markon - you just never know where that Nash-Healey may have come from.

Clark Kent drove one in the 1950s Superman TV series.

Now if it was an Alvis-Healey, that would be something...

There is no reason that car could not be restored back to original, it just takes a lot of time and money, mostly money. It would be a sin to do anything else with it. Their too rare and valuable. JMHO. PJ

Here it is several years ago. https://barnfinds.com/before-austin-1953-nash-healey-roadster/ I dunno about restoring it to original, I think many of the parts would be very difficult to find and expensive if they could be located. My guess is this car was a donor.

The current ebay ad has no photo of the engine bay. The old Barnfinds photos include the engine.

I wonder if the engine is up for sale somewhere. Was it the Nash "Super Flying Scot" six?

Not sure what the engine was called other than it was a 4.1L six with twin Carters. In the discussion area on the link they mention the engine shown is not correct. Also in the pictures the cross member is intact, unlike the current ebay description, so my guess is this is someones gave up project. I just think in it's current state a small block of whatever flavor fits best and a custom frame would be appropriate, but nothing with stupid horsepower, which seems to be in the current vogue with the tatted up idiots on television. Brookland windscreens would look good.
