Here is an Excellent example of a 1963 Austin-Healey 3000 MKII BJ7
2+2 presents stunningly in Ivory White with chrome knock-off wire
wheels mounted on radial tires. Appointed in a contrasting brand
new red interior featuring white piping on the front and rear seats
with a black convertible top. Powered by the twin carb 2.9L inline
6 cylinder and 4 speed manual transmission with overdrive. Very
recent near full restoration. The 1963 model year was a pivotal one
for Austin-Healey. The new 3000 MKII became a far more
sophisticated car shedding its prior roadster persona for that of a
sports-touring convertible that now featured a newly designed
windshield with wind wings, a quick-action folding roof and crank
up, door windows. Now there was an Austin-Healey that had the
creature comforts necessary for long-distance touring. This stood
in sharp contrast to that of the early Healey 3000s, which were
spartan roadsters with minimal weather protection, as evidenced by
their rudimentary plastic folding top on a demountable frame and
detachable Perspex plastic side curtains. The 3000 models were
always coveted sports cars that distinguished themselves from their
4-cylinder British rivals with a robust and large 2.9L inline
6-cylinder engine. The popularity of the 3000 has remained constant
for five major reasons: its beautiful shape; its inline 6-cylinder
engine provides brisk acceleration and ample torque. Its interior
appointments make for a cabin with creature comfort and its front
disc brakes provide exemplary stopping power. The overdrive
transmission provides effortless cruising at freeway speeds. A
total of 6,113 Austin-Healey 3000 MKII's were produced in 1963, and
this pristine example is a rare find. The 3000 model really is a
timeless classic that ultimately defines itself as one of the most
beautiful British roadsters ever created. This car is beautiful
from the ground up! Runs and drives perfectly! Located at Kuyoth's
Klassics in Stratford, Wisconsin. Email
