Sabra Sport Roadster. This rare roadster is said to be one of only 5 in the USA. The Sabra sports car was born when Autocars Co., an Israeli firm, decided to build a sports car for debuted at the New York Auto Show in 1961. They mated an Ashley fiberglass body with a Leslie Ballamy chassis; power was provided by a Ford 1703 cc four cylinder engine and transferred through a 4 speed manual transmission. Top speed was an impressive 100 mph. It features an independent front suspension with disc brakes. A total of only 203 were produced from 1961 -- 67. The name Sabra was chosen because of its Hebrew meaning "born in Israel" and "cactus" (the cars logo). It was avaliable in either a coupe or convertible and carried a price tag of $3500; that was $500 above an Austin Healy!
