1966 AH with SBC

Any help on buyer beware is appreciated. Never owned or drove one. They're asking $8k. Run and drives. Rust areas to look for and other gremlins ? Tilt front end in metal ?

Chassis rust is always the first thing to look at.  Post some pictures of the car.

Hi Rick, unfortunately I have Amish computer skills. I can text share is all. Chassis rust, is frame/ running gear or mostly body ?
Car does not drive. I suspect missing drive shaft. Healey rear end is ok ? About 3.73/1 ratio ? I suspect AH rad to be problematic ?  I would change auto for manual 5 speed. AH wire wheels won;t take sbc torque ? Stock trans cover is non-metal ?
                                                                                                                           Thanks,  Art.

What if ?  I have a Boxter S ,6 speed. Pretty compact. Not building a drag car.
  If i go further out-there.... I have Gen III, 6.1L. hemi. About + 50lb. over a sbc. Exhaust ports tilt down 45 deg. Help to tuck primaries inside of frame ?  A Hemi Healey, 60 years later ?

                                                                                     Cheers,  Art.

I looked, listened to this car. Too much project for me. Might be a fit for someone ?
