This 1954 Austin-Healey 100 BN1 has been extensively modified with a Chevrolet 350ci V8 paired with a Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. Finished in white over red upholstery, the car features Radir 15″ wheels, an Edelbrock 750cfm carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, a dual exhaust system, rack-and-pinion steering, front disc brakes, an engine-turned dashboard fascia, and Stewart-Warner instrumentation. The conversion—believed to have been carried out prior to 2000—also included a custom aluminum firewall and a number of performance upgrades. The car is offered with recent service records, a red tonneau cover, and a clean title.
