Vehicle Description
STK 2578 1967 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III
British Motor Corporation announced the release of the Austin
Healey 3000 MKIII in February 1964. The MKIII BJ-8 remained in
production through 1967 when manufacturing of Austin Healeys
ceased. This stunning 1967 Healey 3000 Mark III is a fully restored
example of the last 'Big Healey'. During the restoration process,
numerous enhancements were made to improve safety, performance and
aesthetics. These efforts were certainly not in vain. The frame,
chassis and all body panels were primed with rust preventive primer
before the body was professionally refinished in Lincoln Navigator
Estate Green. Stunning chrome wire wheels w/stainless spokes mount
period correct red-line radials. (Note that the rear license plate
was moved down to the earlier AH location.) The interior was
reupholstered in high-grade tan vinyl and, along with the walnut
dash and functional clock, is very impressive. A matching top and
tonneau cover are virtually flawless. As for the rest of the
interior, look at the photos again - this passenger compartment is
stunning. The factory 3.0L motor resides in a spotless engine
compartment where most components have been either polished or
chromed. The in-line six was totally rebuilt in 2003 and, with the
two HD8 SU carbs tuned to perfection, purrs with 150bhp. Upgrades
include a ribbed alloy pan for cooler running, large capacity
radiator, stainless exhaust and aluminum fuel tank (same mold). The
original Healey 4-speed was replaced with a Toyota Tacoma fully
synchronized 5-speed w/short throw shifter - quieter, lighter and
cooler. When mated with new differential gearing of 3.55:1, road
performance is significantly enhanced. Electrics have been
converted to 12-volt negative ground with a new
harness,Euro-headlights, solid-state ignition and gear reduction
starter. Brakes are power-assisted disc/drum and from tow-hooks
have been added. If you have always wanted an Austin Healy 3000
MKIII, do not delay. This is your Healey - photos do not do it
justice. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
