1965 Austin Healey 3000 Mk3 It absolutely amazes me how many people cannot spell when writing their ads! Healey has two "e's". It's written in two places on the car for crying out loud!! The other consistently misspelled word is "concours". There is no "e" at the end unless you're at the airport.Now, let's define "restored". Restored does not mean that the car has been recently washed, nor does it mean that the car might have been recently painted. A restoration means that the car has been completely dismantled and properly rebuilt. This would mean that ALL aspects of the car have been addressed. So if you see a listing for a "concourse restored Austin Healy" you'll know that not only does the person not know how to spell, the car was probably not properly restored either. This particular Austin Healey was ordered directly from Brian Healey at the Healey distributorship in Warwick, England. It was delivered to the original owner on July 9th, 1964 at the Healey dealership in Warwick. Prior to that on the 1st of July it was registered on British plates. The first registration mark (license plates to us in the USA) was AGH 944B. What this generally means is that the car can be reimported back to the UK or EU tax free. Copies of the original manufacturers statement of origin and the registration documents are included with the sale of that car, as is all correspondence leading up to the purchase of the car.The car was driven throughout the UK and the European continent while the owner was on holiday. The car was shipped back to eastern Canada at the end of his vacation. When he moved to the states the car was shipped, eventually, all the way to California and finally to Washington state where it is now.This is a one family owned vehicle from new. The reason for the sale is to settle the estate.The car's restoration was started in 2008 and the process lasted just less than two years. The car has had very limited use since.Chassis HBJ8L/26887Body 3182BJ8/71700Engine 29K/RU/H2017The car was delivered with the following options; overdrive, heater, adjustable steering column, radio, luggage grid (factory type) twin wing mirrors, w/w tires. Original color was white with black trim.At the direction of the family, the color was changed to British Racing Green (GN29) and the luggage grid was deleted.This is a matching numbers car. This is what is known as a phase 2 type BJ8. It has the redesigned chassis to accommodate radius arms. Other differences between a Phase 2 and the earlier car are push button door handles and plastic lenses for the side and rear combined stop/tail/turn lamps. Common dating for these cars calls a phase 1 car a 1964, a phase 2 car would be commonly called a 1965, and the phase 3 cars 1966 and 1967. The Phase 3 cars have separate turn signal lamps as their only difference from the phase 2 cars. That dating is a bit simplistic as the factory made running changes to the specification of the car instead of making changes at specific model years like the American manufacturers do. Thus this car is listed as a 1965 when it was actually manufactured in the second half of 1964. The car was completely stripped down to the last screw and sandblasted. The chassis structure has received new sills, rockers, floors and other parts required to address the normal rust issues common to this type of car. All repairs are indistinguishable from the original factory metal. The chassis was painted inside and out while mounted on a rotisserie and all of the body panels were painted front and back. All lapped panels and seams in the chassis were seam sealed prior to painting. The car was assembled, sanded and painted as an assembled unit to ensure consistency of color and finish. The underside of the chassis and inside of the panels are just as smooth and glossy as the exterior of the body. The products used throughout the painting process were manufactured by PPG. The finish paint is PPG Concept. Every wearing part of the suspension and steering was either replaced or rebuilt. This includes the splined hubs for the wire wheels. New 60 spoke chrome wire wheels were also fitted to the car (stainless spokes). Most parts of the suspension have been powder coated for durability of finish.With the exception of the brake calipers and the original Girling brake servo, all aspects of the brakes are new. This includes all of the brake lines (rigid and flexible), the master cylinders, rear wheel cylinders, front brake rotors and linings. The calipers were rebuilt with stainless pistons and the original brake servo was rebuilt, the rear brake drums were found to have plenty of life left and were turned.The engine was converted to run on unleaded fuel by fitting hardened valve seats and stellite exhaust valves. The intake valves are also all new. The guides were also replaced and special valve stem seals were adapted as the original units are a poor design. The engine was bored .030 over, the crank ground .010/.010 and the camshaft was re-ground as well. A rear main seal kit has also been fitted as there is no rear main seal on an original Austin engine. The rockershaft is new and all of the rockers have been re-bushed. The connecting rods have had new wrist pin bushings installed and the crank ends have been resized. All of the lifters are new. The carbs were also completely rebuilt with new throttle shafts and nylon bushings as well as the rest of the internals. The ignition is by points as original. Oil pressure is 40 psi at idle HOT.The gearbox and overdrive were also completely rebuilt using new syncros, bearings and layshaft. The gearbox is quiet. The overdrive was also completely rebuilt and functions properly. The clutch, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder are new along with the supply lines. The rear axle has had its bearings and seals replaced.The car was rewired using the correct pattern cotton loomed cover and electrical parts were replaced if found to be defective. Everything works properly.The interior was completely replaced. The seats (front and rear) were rebuilt with the proper foam combination of the molded set and 1/2 foam for correct "loft" around the perimeter and lumbar area as they were originally. The carpets are cut in the same pattern as original. The wood dash was also replaced. Original Kangol 3 point seat belts have been installed.All of the original bright-work was re-plated. (chrome)The car comes complete with the original tools and jack, a tonneau cover and a top cover (boot). The boot and tonneau are of the correct everflex and are stowed in the correct black bags.I am selling the car at the direction of the son of the original owner to settle the estate of his late mother. That is the only reason for the sale. My reputation is far more important to me than the small commission I will receive for its sale. I have made every effort to accurately describe this car. I do not want someone to feel that they have wasted their time looking at the car. I do not normally sell cars, but as I have an intimate knowledge of this car I am quite comfortable finding it a new home. I am happy to show the car by appointment to a seriously interested buyer. I am approximately 6 hours away from where the car is stored so it represents a 12 hour round trip to show the car. Due to that, I am not interested in having my time wasted either.I honesty believe that this is one of the nicest examples currently on the market at this time. I encourage interested parties to look at the other examples available and then come out and look at this car. There will be no disappointments.Admittedly, the car is not cheap. But, in the long run it will be much less expensive and less aggravating than a cheaper car with an inferior restoration and hidden faults. Interested parties may call me for additional information between 9AM and 8PM west coast time at 509-422-5303 or 206-459-2235 (cell).or I can be reached by e-mail at [email protected]
