Vehicle Description
Everyone's got a Cobra replica, but how about something with the
same kind of power-to-weight ratio but skewed a bit more towards
the luxury end of the scale? Take a good look at this gorgeous 1963
Austin Healey 3000 Mark III, which, like the Cobras, is filled with
a performance American V8, upgraded suspension, and that kind of
old-world look that makes these Anglo-American hybrids so
appealing.
The Electric Blue metallic is the perfect shade for this car. It
instantly announces that this craftsman-style body has a wild side.
The brilliant gloss and shine not only emphasize the classic
British elegance, but also it makes the most of the extra wide
fender flares that come on the fiberglass body. The execution on
this car is a true transatlantic partnership that blends the
brightwork of the original-inspired oval grille with big 16-alloy
wheels. But the best way to see how the English and American styles
blend together is on the custom pinstripe that starts behind the
front fender and doesn't stop until it reaches the rear chrome
bumper. This hot rod style flair celebrates the best of the USA,
and at the same time, it highlights the silhouette of this old
world icon.
The handsome tan leather bucket seats with black inserts are a
great piece to unite this interior. The tan coordinates nicely with
the full folding top (and you even get roll up windows for true
weather protection!) The black is the color of the carpeting, door
panels, trunk, and safety roll bar. All of this feels fresh and
new, so you know you're buying a premium build. The British and
American styles come together nicely inside, too. You grab the
Grant GT three-spoke steering wheel with your left hand, and your
right one will love the B&M ratchet shifter. But while those
are very muscle car-like, the real wood dash with full round gauge
package is very European. Plus, you get amenities that are great no
matter where you're from like the AM/FM/CD stereo and provisions
for air conditioning.
Under the hood is where the best upgrade is. Just like a Shelby
Cobra, this Brit style gets a major power boost from an American
V8. In this case, it's a Chevy 350 cubic-inch motor that looks
awesome filling every inch of the engine bay. Plus it offers plenty
of shine in places like the valve covers, air cleaners, and
alternator shroud. And really the motor needs to looks so good
because people will be asking plenty of questions about this very
unique roadster. But more than just looking great it has been
upgraded with performance components like a Holley four-barrel
carburetor and Holley Street Dominator intake. It's also backed up
by reliable components like an aluminum radiator, electric fan, and
there is less than 27K miles on the whole build. That's why this
drop top not only makes a great sound out of the dual exhaust, but
it also fires up eagerly. On the road the TH350 three-speed
automatic transmission is perfect for cruising in the everyday
situations, and it's also stout enough to handle the times when you
want to use this lightweight roadster for all-out speed. Plus, the
Mustang II style independent front suspension, front disc brakes,
and modern Kumho tires offer the kind of control you wished you had
in a '60s machine.
This is a custom build that everyone loves because it's unique
style applied to a motoring icon without ruining an original body.
That's also why you can enjoy this V8 convertible on the road with
confidence (and we have the maintenance records to back this up,
too!) It's time to grab the best of all worlds in a complete
roadster package. Call today!!!
