Vehicle Description
Welcome to Street Dreams in Texas as we celebrate our 21st year in
the classic and muscle car business. The Austin Healey sports cars
of the 1950's and 1960's were the product of a joint venture
between the Austin Division of the British Motor Corporation and
the Donald Healey Motor Company, a renowned automotive engineering
and design firm. The collaboration reached its zenith with the more
powerful and luxurious 3000 Mk III in 1964. Equipped with power
front disc brakes, roll-up windows, and a center console with
walnut-veneer dash, these cars have been embraced by Americans ever
since. This beautiful 1966 Colorado Red 3000 Mk III is an excellent
example of the breed and comes with a certified copy of the British
Motor Industry Heritage Trust factory record. This critically
important document (don't buy one without it!) lists the original
features of the car as it left the factory. This gem (chassis #
H-BJ8-L/36072) was well-equipped from the factory with wire wheels,
heater, adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen,
overdrive, roadspeed tires, and a black tonneau cover. One of the
previous owners purchased it at he 2006 British Car Union Show from
the 3rd owner. All subsequent work was performed by Mark Baker at
Sport and Specialty, a highly regarded expert. The interior, seats,
and upholstery are original, while the Colorado Red paint was
freshened up 24 years ago and the Wilton wool carpets are new. All
the mechanicals were rebuilt or replaced for safety and reliability
(brakes, suspension, transmission, etc.). The engine was rebuilt in
2008 (excellent photos) and the tires, wheels, and hubs are
all-new. This is a fresh and usable classic that is currently
experiencing a steep appreciation curve. Don't wait too long!
