I owned a '67 Austin Healey 3000 45 years ago in 1972-74 and loved it. Drove it everywhere for two years in Colorado in all seasons and it was a total joy and completely dependable. Back then it was a late model used sports car (not a collectors item) so i changed the color of it to and Audi color - Alaska Blue - it was beautiful. It was originally gold in color, i think, but it was so washed out by the time i bought it, it needed a paint job so i painted it whatever i wanted. Pictures attached.
I paid more in sales tax this time around than what i sold my Healey for in 1974.
I bought it for $1000 because all the wires under the dash melted (no surprise, Lucas electrics). Dragged it home and spent a half hour separating the wires and put the key in the ignition and it started right up. it took a couple of hours to replace all the smoked wires, but never again had a electrical (or any other) problem. Why I sold it is still something of a mystery.
It had a Stebro exhaust (totally cool) which i would love to do again but sadly Stebro is no longer in existence. Lots of custom exhaust fabricators out there so i will no doubt have little trouble replicating the Stebro.
I will tell more about the new one, but it believe the dealer when he said that it has 44,000 original miles on it. His documentation supported that notion.
I will introduce my new love soon.
Thanks for including me in the forum. I look to get lots of good information for keeping my car as pristines as it is now.
