The 1967 was the last year of the Austin-Healey 3000 and arguably the best. It has the biggest hp and is the most refined with roll up windows, rear seating, and standard power disc brakes. This one has been ground up restored. We acquired it from the Claude O estate collection. He had a full-time mechanic maintaining his cars because he wanted to be able to drive any car at any time.
EXTERIOR: Very handsome design. The body is mint! No rust or damage. It fits right; it's straight. Gorgeous Ice Blue paint. The metal flake is laid out evenly; the clear coat is polished like glass. The chrome is all new or very good original. Sparkling chrome wire wheels with knock off spinners. Lucas headlights. Dark blue convertible top is in excellent shape. Original windshield, roll up windows.
INTERIOR: Door panels are mint. Real burl wood dash with Smith gauges, it's all in excellent shape including the knobs and levers. Excellent blue carpet. It has a nice console with the manual shifter and a walnut knob. The bucket seats are correctly reupholstered and has chrome piping. Referred to as "an occasional 4 seater". It has rear seats or a fold up rear deck. The steering wheel is original and showing some age.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: 6 cylinder motor. The horsepower was increased to 150 in 1967 with a high lift cam and dual SU HD8 carbs. The engine compartment was all taken apart and restored. It was correctly restored to factory specs. Correct colors, cloth wrapped wires, the tags are all there. It runs great!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean and complete. It's painted nicely. Has a correct liner kit. Matching wire wheel and BFG tire for a spare. Battery is located in the trunk and has a factory disconnect switch. Weatherstrip is soft.
UNDERSIDE: It looks like it was all apart and restored. The metal appears to be rock solid and clean. It was painted the body color. The front end steering and suspension looks like it was apart and rebuilt. The brake system was gone through. It has disc in front with slotted rotors, e-brake cables are hooked up. It has the correct dual exhaust system. The motor, trans and rear are clean and repainted. It has the optional electric overdrive.
I understand why these cars are valuable. It has really attractive style in and out. For an English sports car it has good power and nice features. This one looks to be a really nice example. It would be a great time shifting the gears on a nice crisp morning in the country side!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
