1958 Austin Healey 3000

Austin Healey 3000 (1958)
for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

1958 Austin Healey 100-6 project for restoration.
Fresh from a barn where it has been stored and off the road since 1972.
Mostly complete. The only things I know are missing are bumpers (brackets and over ridders are here)and the front AH logo above the grill.
The original numbers matching engine and transmission are out of the car. The engine turns free and has been stored properly. Oil is clean.
The car rolls and steers.
I have many extra parts included with the purchase.
- Complete extra front suspension and rear axle to make it a wire wheel car. Also 4 wire wheels.-Extra Fuel tank-Extra set of doors, very straight and solid.- Extra Bonnet and Boot- Extra windshield Frame- Extra Soft top frame-Extra Sway Bar and hood latch cross support- Complete Extra Engine from a later 3000
Both engines are strapped to a pallet for shipping.
The cars body is pretty good, plenty of scrapes and dings. The largest being the right rear quarter panel. The car is pretty solid with the only rust thru I have seen in the right dogleg and passenger floor. I am sure more will be found as the car has never been disassembled past where it is now. But any further rust would be limited to pinholes after media blasted. The frame and outriggers look good. I have included photos to show the detail better. Even the battery tray is solid. But as you can see from the photos the car will need EVERYTHING.
I have photographed and included the worst areas on this car.
I can store for 30 day while transportation arrangements are made. I can get a majority of these parts stacked into the car safely for transport. The engines are on a pallet and I can strap the large extra body parts to that as well for shipping.
Clear CA title matches the car and engine so it can be shipped anywhere in the world. I can deliver to the port of Oakland CA for $250 and to Los Angeles/ Long Beach for $350.

Also missing drivers headlight bucket, trim rings are here. Look at photos of extra parts.
I can send a link to more photos that show better detail of the extra parts.
I have been receiving many offers to end the auction early. I believe I have set the buy it now at a price that it will sell. I am looking for an easy sale from someone serious and ready to wire the funds and have the car picked up.
Projects like this are getting hard to find in any condition. And I believe this one is better than the other projects I have seen for sale in this price range in the last year.
I can install original engine and trans for shipping. Most of the extra parts can be strapped inside the car.
