1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III BJ8 2+2 Phase II of Mk III production Newer soft top 4-Speed manual transmission w/ overdrive Twin SU carburetors Chrome knock-off wire wheels Believed to be a 3 owner car Last owned for 13 years MotoeXotica is pleased to offer this stunning and well maintained 1967 Austin Healey Mk III BJ8 2+2. Affectionately known as big Healeys, this Mk III is a gorgeous example of an award winning, mildly restored, BJ8! It is believed to have had only three prior owners, and benefits from a high quality repaint using a two-stage base clear-coat finish. These Healeys were the final swan song of the Austin Healey Company, thus are the most powerful, advanced, and desired of the lineup. With the Austin-Healey company only sending 510 units being imported into the United States in 1967. Production of the Mk IIIs were split between two phases, with Phase I ending in May of 1964, then continuing with Phase II of production. With the key differences between the two being a modified rear chassis, which improved ground clearance by almost an inch. Walking around this brilliant Austin-Healey, the time and effort spent on this car is clear and rewarding. The rich red paint is in excellent condition and appears to be very high qualityand is about 10 years old as stated by the previous owner.All of the exterior bright work is in matching condition to the paint, very good condition. Little to no signs of aging can be found on the bright work or body. A newer black vinyl soft top was added which looks great and fits snugly and securely, while providing excellent visibility through the clear plastic rear window. Chrome wire knock-off wheels contribute to the period look and are in great condition as well! Taking a step inside the small but well equipped Healey, the interior mirrors the condition of the exterior. Black bucket seats support both the driver and passenger and are in very good condition and show only very minor wear. While the small rear 2+2 seating provides the opportunity for this Austin-Healey to carry two more passengers. However since space is at a premium, the rear seat has the ability to fold flat for more cargo room. A full width walnut-veneer dashboard warms up the interior and provided excellent contrast to the clear and direct Smiths black and white gauges. The factory optional heater controls are in their rightful position, above the Pioneer AM/FM radio player and speakers located in both foot wells. However it should be noted that the radio is currently inoperable. In the multi-tier trunk a full-size spare is presentalong with a knock-off hammer, roadside jack, and tool kit! Since this Phase II Healey was to be the companys final product, it received all of Austin-Healeys latest performance parts and design. Its powered by a 2,912cc inline six cylinder engine with twin SU 2 downdraft HD8 carburetors which produced 150hp. The steel ladder frame was stiffened by added an X brace and braking was improved with servo-assisted disc brakes. A four-speed syncro-mesh manual transmission with overdrive provides crisp and direct gear changes. While coil springs and hydraulic mono-tube shocks make up the front suspension and leaf-springs mounted to a live axle make of the rear suspension. These agile little roadsters hark back to an era of rally and road racing dominated by British roadsters. Its easy to understand why, once driving, there are few cars that give the driver such direct feedback and enjoyable experience. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! WE BUY CARS!!!
