automotive citizen has arrived at MotoeXotica Classic Cars, a 1967
Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8. This is an unrestored model, which
has had a single repaint since new. This awesome , last year big
Healey BJ8 3000 MKIII has had the same festidous owner since 1968!
He purchased the car in August of 1968 from Fred Reynolds Sports
Car Center in Irwin PA. �We have the original sales invoice that
shows the trade in was a 1962 Jaguar XKE with a trade in price of
$1600.00 leaving the balance at $1596.50. �Those were the days my
friends! �We also have a copy of the title that remained with the
owner for just shy of 50 years. �We also have the original AH
Healey 3000 MKIII drivers handbook and service receipts for the
last 10 years that back up the mileage with less than 200 miles
accumulated in the time span. �While the current title reads exempt
on mileage due to age the car will certainly speak for itself as a
32,XXX mile car as stated by the previous owner! It features the
following new parts - exhaust, tires, brakes, bushings, Kingpins
sway bar links, brake calipers, brake booster and fuel pump. Its
Ice Blue exterior is in near-excellent overall condition, as is the
car's trim with minor imperfections. The windshield is clear and
intact and the car's lights, even the fog lights, look great. The
car rides on Michelin XZX radials, size 185SR15 at all four
corners, surrounding new chrome wire wheels with knock offs. The
body panels are all in excellent condition, including the bumpers
and the folding top with its plastic rear window. Under the hood is
a 2.9L straight six-cylinder engine buttoned to a four-speed manual
transmission with electric overdrive. Inside, the original interior
is in overall good order. The Mineral Blue Ambla vinyl bucket
seats, with their gold trim, look very good. The carpet is correct
and brand new condition and the instrument panel, with its black
top, complete set of instruments and burled walnut, looks
fantastic. The three-spoke steering wheel, with its wood rim, looks
great. The inner door panels, mirror glass and shifter are all in
good order. The center console is in very good condition. Rounding
out the interior is a classic Audiovox solid-state AM/FM radio. The
3000 sports convertible Mark III was announced in February 1964 its
power increased from 136 bhp to 150 bhp by a new higher lift
camshaft. SU HD8 carburetors replaced HS6 units increasing the
choke size from 1.75 to 2 inches. Power-assisted braking became
standard instead of optional. The new car's fascia displayed its
speedometer and tachometer directly in front of the driver. The
Mark III BJ8 remained in production until the end of 1967 when
manufacture of Austin-Healeys ceased. Documentation includes
original driver's handbook, a copy of the original 1968 sales
invoice, a copy of 1970 title, 10 years of service receipts with
mileage for backup, a pair of bullet sideview mirrors and a
toolkit. Competitors to this Austin in 1967 included Fiat's Dino
Spider and Mercedes-Benz's 230 SL. This car is currently located at
our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the
odometer shows 32,802 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean
and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN:
