I am a long time member of the Austin Healey Club of America. This is the 10th Healey that I have had restored over the years.
This is an
immaculately restored Austin Healey 3000. We started with a well cared for
donor car, who according to our information was owned by the same service
station owner for over 30 years!!!
Our goal
was a INVESTMENT GRADE SHOWCAR-DRIVER. We desired perfection and restored it like we were going
to keep it forever! No shortcuts, no stone unturned!
Car was
already bare-metaled and painted by a previous owner. Paint is excellent!

of exercise this car will be a joy to drive and trouble-free for many years to
come.
I take
pride in restoring these cars. This is the 10th big Healey I have owned!!! I am the contractor as I leave the work up to
the professionals!!! Sometimes I insist things be redone if not up to par, Of
course many times I pay for the redo.
We are
asking $89, 000 for an expertly restored and very reliable classic that is
appreciating rapidly. This is a restoration that is well documented with many
detailed receipts. Detailed receipts are key for good appreciation of value:
proper documentation.
