This
1961 Austin Healey 3000 Mark 1 was originally shipped to Hawaii, then brought to
the dry climate of Arizona in 1985. She was lovingly restored, and set aside in
a climate controlled warehouse for 30 YEARS!!
I
bought it from a gentleman who was going to start a museum and acquired the car
in 2001. He did some minor repairs over the next couple years, but health issues
forced him to give up on his vision….he ultimately sold all 25 cars that were
in his collection.
Since
I have had the Healey I have done a number of items to the car. The most needed
was new seats, carpet, and panels (completed 4/2014). I obtained a Heritage
report that was matched using Moss Motors color and pattern specifications.
This
Big Healy’s chrome and brightwork is certainly a 10. The paint is clean and
bright, I would rate it an 8 due to a few nicks that a skilled dent guy could
easily repair. The motor is strong, does not smoke, and has minimal (if any)
leaks. She does not over heat, and has perfect oil pressure. The transmission
shifts smoothly. It has a leak at the area around the overdrive, and the
electronic overdrive does not work (all parts are in place).
The
gauges all work, as do the lights. There is a matching wire wheel spare.
This
would be an ideal car to drive on weekends as is, of finish the restoration to
start your own museum!
I
have receipts dating back to 1985 ($13, 000 in total) showing all the work done
to the present.
I have it on numerous on line sources for sale. I'd end early for a quick and painless sale. MAKE OFFER, PLEASE DON'T ASK MY RESERVE
