1962 Austin Healey 3000
Today there's tremendous interest as 144 people are watching this sale. "This Healey Will Sell "
I bought this Healey (Vin # HBT7L/16707) over 2 years ago to restore. Stored indoors for over 30 years. Other than a few areas it is very solid, and I believe better than most you will see anywhere near this price. I would replace both front outriggers. There have been previous repairs in front of passenger wheel well, both rocker areas, new outer rockers need mounted properly. I would strip the car and address every area of concern. This is a restoration project.
I also have purchased thousands in parts to get started.Very nice exhaust system,Very nice side curtains and mounting plates,New Front brake rotors and pads,Very nice rebuilt front caliper assemblies,New rear wheel cylinders, and shoes,New brake hoses,Convertible top,Boot for top,Tonneau cover,New Clutch master cylinder,New Slave Cylinder,New trunk armacord set,New fuel pump,New SU carb rebuild kits,New ignition switch,coil,points,and plugs,Door and kick panels, heater and blower, shut face and rocker trim, white face temp guage,(also a few msc pieces).The car rolls easily for loading.With these parts, I see no reason that you can't be well on your way to having this car running,and braking.
If what you see, and the parts aren't enough:(engine 29K/RU/H 14327) (1) I soaked the cylinders, drained it, added new oil and filter, (2) Turned the engine repeatedly by wrench, (3) disconnected coil and turned the engine over with starter, (4) Connected the coil, sprayed a little starting fluid into throttle bodies and the got the car to run! (a few seconds with starting fluid).Of course the fuel tank, lines, and carbs need addressed.
I'll make no excuses for this car, as it's worth every penny. (I have more in it).Project Healey's like this are getting very hard to find. I have the clear Virginia title that I received.The Healey is sold as is needing complete restoration with no warranties implied.
PLEASE ask questions BEFORE bidding. " Inspections are welcomed "*. *
Look at my feedback for over 22 years. without a couple challenged buyers I would be 100%.If you understand what a complete restoration involves please bid, if you do not, please don't.I don't have time for silliness so be sure of your intentions as DEPOSIT is Non Refundable. "Thanks for looking"
