INTRO:    The  market is full of RETRO design inspired by great

                     cars of the past:  T-BIRD, PT Cruiser,Viper, VW beetle,

                     HHR, Ford GT 40, Prowler, BMW Z8, Boxter, Crossfire,

                     and many more.

                        One great roadster is still missing from the pack:

                     the " BIG HEALEY" of the 60's.

  FEATURES:    CRD has developed a spectacular replica of the 1967

                      3000 Mk III (BJ8), (the last produced Big Healey).

                         Many consider this model to be the all time best.

                         We have taken the time to mantain all the critical

                      and essential lines that makes it special: side body panel,

                      window sill, curved glass windshield, gas fill boss, double

                      turn signal in front, plus we added some new ones such as

                      flared fenders, side vents, hood and trunk lid vein, and more.

   CHASSIS:      The frame is made of  2x4, 2x6 and 2x2 structural  tubing.

                      Wall thickness is 0.120" to 0.160". Floor is 10ga. plate.

                      Design is simple and effective. It is built and welded on

                      a steel jig table. All pieces are marked and located on jig.     

                        It is purposely overbuilt and it garantees no flex or twist.

                      Estimated rating to 1,100 HP.

   ENGINE:          Frame is set up for 1955-1992 small block Chevy V8.

                      Needless to say it is by far the most dependable engine

                      ever produced. We always use a brand new crate motor

                      purchased directly from GM. It comes with warranty and

                      in a large choice of horsepower. We offer a 260, 300, 330

                      and a 425 horsepower engine and never had any problems.

   TRANNY:       Again GM trannies are used as TH 350  3-speed auto,

                      TH 200-4R  4-speed auto, a B&W T5,  5-speed manual

                      with hydraulic clutch and our exclusive 4-speed manual

                     ratchet shifter with NO CLUTCH PEDAL. This is by far our

                     best seller. It is our exclusive design with patent pending

                     and it will be available with the business package. 

   BODY:             The main mold receives the body skin, all hand laid,

                       using polyester resin and 1.5 oz. cloth 4 criss crossed

                       layers over a generous amaount of black gel-coat.

                            All the other parts are layed seperately and then installed

                       in the main mold using a steel locating jig that garantees

                       consistency of location. Everything is then glassed together

                       forming a tight unit-body with no chance of movement.

                          The main mold is mounted on adjustable rolling  and

                       rotating stands (rotisserie). This makes it very easy to

                       handle but also to get the right angle for laying glass.

   DOORS:        The doors have always been a major detail in custom cars.

                       Everyone looking at one will always go to the doors.

                          To obtain the best fit we produced 2 door fixtures on

                       stands in order to facilitate the pre-assembly. You simply

                       set the door skin, then the inner box, align and lock together.

                          When you go to the body you'll find the same alignment.

   ASSEMBLY:   Once the frame is ready with wheels front and rear

                      ends, engine, tranny, fuel and brake system, you are ready

                      to install the body. Simply pick it up (4 people or hoist)

                      and set it down on the chassis. It just goes where it

                      belongs without much adjusting to be done. All this is not

                      by mistake and is exactly why this production is easy.

   WIRING:        This area is the deviding factor between the good  cars

                     and the not-so-good ones. We have an electrical assembly

                     table where the harness is set up and marked for a trouble

                     free installation. All components are new from a known GM

                     manufacturer. All wires are labeled every 8 inches and all the

                     connectors and terminals are proven GM 56. They work,

                     they stay together and require no repairs. We also use

                     OPTIMA gel batteries, they don't leak or corrode (in trunk)

                     and they don't blow up.

   FINISH:     This roadster has been designed to be painted after general

                      assembly. When the body is still in the mold we spray all

                      the underside with truck bed coating. This gives it a clean

                      uniform look.  The mold is so good that it takes one man

                      only 8 hrs to prep the body. First color coat is applied now.

                         After total assembly you can drive the car to a paint

                      shop and with simple removal of chrome you get the

                      final coat, you're done.

   NOTES:         We suggest having 3 finished cars in a showroom and

                      perhaps a finished frame. We also strongly advise having

                      an unrestored original Healey next to them. This will

                      no doubt have a tremendous impact on those purists

                      who do not quite understand what makes cars good.

                        One car tells people "oh what a nice job you did"

                        Two cars tells them  "oh you built one for your wife "

                        Three cars tells 'em  " this must be a business".

                      The presence of an original will make people see the

                      stunning difference and favor the replica. You'll see. 

   CONCLUSION:    With no competition on the market this roadster

                            is a sure winner.  From a 2-men operation to a

                            large scale business success and profit are at reach.

                              Final details and numbers will be disclosed only

                            to the interested party. Contact us for a full

                            disclosure of the business plan.   Good luck.
