1967 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8

Description for Austin Healey 3000 1967

Nice BJ8 for sale. Unmolested southern car with very little rust. Originally a red car with black interior. now painted Healey silver-blue. The paint is poor. This car has never been apart and the body lines are outstanding. The front shroud and grill area are excellent. I see no signs of this car ever having collision damage. There is some rust in both of the footwell sections and some very minor rust in the rear doglegs. There is also some minor rust in the trunk floor. The sills. main floors and outriggers are all solid with only a little rust on the inner sill on the right side. It has the original servo and it has been bypassed. The interior (original black) is certainly restorable with the rear seats and sqaub intact. It has the original BMC radio. The car is running and the HD8 carburetors have been totally rebuilt. It has recently had the gas tank and fuel pump replaced. Both rear wheel cylinders and brake shoes are new. All hydraulic flex lines are new. It has new front brake pads. The brakes and clutch work fine. including a new clutch slave cylinder. The gearbox is very good with no noise in 1st gear. The overdrive is untested. The engine holds very good oil pressure: 60psi cold. 30psi hot idle. Over $2900. 00 was just spent to get this car up and running after having sat for 25 years. The invoice is available. It has 60 spoke painted wheels with bias ply tires. The convertible top is shot. It will need an exhaust system. Odometer shows 60K with the original decal on the glass.
