SuperAndy's 1967 Austin Healey 3000

Austin Healey 3000 Mk III barn find!

About this Current Vehicle:

I just hauled this thing home this morning. The wife and I went to look at a house for sale, and this was in the weeds next to the driveway. I recognized it as a Healey 3000 . I got the owner's number from the attendant and called him to see if he would sell. That was Sunday. Today is Wednesday and it's sitting in my driveway under a cover.

I have had several people call this the LS-6 of British sports cars. It is very rare and the most desirable of the 3000s, more desirable than the XKE roadsters. I think they only produced 6000 or so in three years, and only a portion of those were exported to the US.

I don't know too much about this car yet, but I'm going to dig into it and take some more pictures.

I've done some more research. It's a 1964 model, built in late 1963. It's a 3000 Mk III Phase 1. 149 hp straight six.
