Vehicle Description
This 1960 Austin-Healey 3000 BT7 was restored in its factory colors
and options by a concours judge and marque specialist at a
professional Healey restoration shop. Prior to a full rotisserie
restoration, this accident and rust-free car had been in long-term
storage since 1966. After 50 years of storage and starting with a
straight chassis and body, a restoration began in 2016 and was
completed in 2017. After complete disassembly, all major components
were either rebuilt or replaced using the correct paint and
fasteners. The chassis and all of the original body panels were
stripped to bare metal and resealed using a high-quality epoxy
primer/sealer and a two-stage urethane paint. The 2912cc engine was
completely rebuilt and is backed by a rebuilt factory 4-speed
manual transmission with overdrive. This BT7 features a new gas
tank, fuel pump and gas lines, and rebuilt carburetors attached to
a ceramic coated intake. All brake lines and components are new
with rebuilt front disc brake calipers. A new wiring harness,
connectors, and switched were used as well as rebuilt factory
gauges. Both the generator and starter were rebuilt as well. A
ceramic coated exhaust manifold is attached to a new polished
stainless steel exhaust system and all shocks were rebuilt along
with all suspension parts which were powder-coated. All of the
chrome parts were replaced or re-plated to show quality and a new
factory-correct interior was custom built and installed with
leather front and rear seats. This Healey rides on five new
60-spoke chrome wheels and new tires. A nicely fitted red top and
tonneau cover were also added. This BT7 comes complete with a BMHT
certificate, driver manual, and knock-off hammer.
