The antithesis to your stereotypical American open-topped sports car, the Austin-Healey Sprite was conceived in Britain for UK roads and drivers. With a production run spanning from 1958 to 1971 over four series (known as the Mark I, II, III, and IV), it was positioned as a low-cost yet fun car that could be easily maintained. Of course, Sprites made it to many other countries, including Stateside, as evidenced by this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite that we're selling right now. It's received a new Oselli 1275cc Inline-4 engine with just 2,000 miles on it and is your ideal weekend toy.
Measuring just 137 inches from tip to tail, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite is far more than just a friendly face. Those lovable bug-eyed or frog-eyed headlamps are the essence of the car's character, with its eager-mouthed, smiling grille right beneath, channeling air for the small but plucky motor to breathe and be cooled by. This car is said to come with various weather protection options that include two bikini tops, a tonneau top, and a full top with side curtains. At the rear, you'll find a kicked-up stance and a jaunty exhaust pipe for one last sign of joie de vivre. We've also got a lovely set of period alloys to admire. Inside, don't expect dual-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay, and powered this-and-that. No, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite is the definition of digital detox. Need to charge your phone? Forget it. There isn't even a place to keep your phone, so keep it in your pocket or, better still, at home. Instead, you get two low-backed seats, three pedals, a sporty steering wheel, a gear lever, three pedals, and some beautiful analog Smiths gauges. This is the standard feature set of a Sprite. We also observe what appears to be a heater for keeping you warm during those brisk early morning drives.
Originally, a Mark I Sprite like this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite would have seen a 948cc in-line 4-cylinder engine powering it, with all of 43hp from the factory. However, as we've told you, this car has received a new engine. The new engine is a larger 1,275cc unit that's most likely from a Mark IV car and was rated at 65hp when new. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This car also has front disc brakes, an aluminum radiator, a racing cam, and electronic ignition. What are you waiting for? Buy this car and experience true motoring nirvana in its rawest form. It's far more pleasing to wring out a small engine than it is a constantly corral a large one, after all.
With its famously friendly face that is most likened to an inquisitive frog (hence the nickname Frogeye), the Austin-Healey Sprite is a lovable British roadster that was made between 1958 and 1971. With its small road footprint and frugal four-cylinder engine, it redefined what driving fun could be. Despite being the polar opposite of what most Americans considered to constitute a fun or sporty car, some examples did make it here. Case in point, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite for sale in Pennsylvania. With a smidge over 53,000 miles on the clock, this spunky little car is the perfect way to treat yourself to something fun to drive, as well as a definitive appreciating asset!
The '50s and '60s were the golden era of open-top British motors, and the car that ranked as one of Britain's finest was the legendary Austin Healey Sprite. Built to be a plucky British motor that's designed for handling tight corners in style, being behind the wheel of an Austin Healey Sprite means you prefer fine-tuned handling and performance that's not overpowered but just right for a good time. Present today is this lovely 1961 Austin Healey Sprite. This British classic is reported to have 15,000 miles on its clock, is fully restored, and makes for the perfect weekend driver or track-focused project.

Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The second generation or C2 Chevy Corvette came in 1963, bringing that famous split-screen window to the party. Sadly it was discontinued after just one year due to rearward visibility concerns. But, the C2 also gave the Corvette things like pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Stingray badge. Hence, finding and acquiring a C2 in great condition is a very smart decision, soulfully, as well as financially. Thankfully, we’ve done the finding part for you, and present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for your consideration. This sub 43,000-mile survivor car from Riverhead, New York comes with a Turbo-Jet 427ci V8 and 4-speed transmission, original keys, the original owner’s manual and even a Protect-O-Plate included with the sale.
Behold, the famous Fox Body Mustang, also known as the third generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Introduced in 1979, the Fox Body would go on until 1993, and the successor would also use its platform. Now, Fox Bodies are becoming desirable by a segment of enthusiasts who recognize its distinctiveness and quirks too. And yes, the Fox came with a V8 engine option too. Case in point, this fine 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible from Cumming, Georgia. This car packs a scarcely believable 4,400 miles, making it a nice time capsule of sorts. It’s got a Marti report included with the sale, and rocks a white soft top. Oh, and of course, there’s a 302 under the hood.
