[Healeys] Quick Change Rear Axle / Hill Climb Video

[Perry]

Rick Neville asked what engine would be used in the” Hill Climb Car” and I offered the info below. (with a couple corrections)

Rick
This car competed in the Hershey Hill Climb (HHC) years ago. The HHC started back in 1958, so this Healey would have been nearly new when they had the first race.  However we have not been able to trace the exact years the car ran because of several factors but believe it ran in 1964. 
Because of the cars history, my Brother in law has decided to keep it in a semi-period race trim.  It will be using the Healey six engine and a center shift trans.

For all who would enjoy some old racing footage, a bit of which has Austin Healeys in it, see the link to the 1964 Hershey Hill Climb.

Check the time at 2:25 for a Healey crash.  A real tree hugger!
See 3:00 for car #90 that we believe is the old Healey racer currently in our garage. 
Have fun.  These old timers must have been a bit crazy.
