I'm a aficionado and restorer of any thing with wheels and motor; and will get me to some place or another. I purchased a half burnt up 3000lll a couple years back. Engine and drivetrain basically undamaged - structurally; paint burnt off, wiring harness shot., rear aluminum panel melted and interior trashed etc.- etc. Had 4 minilite mags and 3 new tires, one burnt up, on it . Thought I could not go wrong. The wheels and tires worth more than paid for the vehicle. At the least I could sell the wheels and part out the rest. Told a friend of mine in Pa. ; that had two rustbucket Healeys sitting in his back yard about my recent acquisition. He said he no longer wanted to restore them and if I wanted them. Come get'em. Da!!! I now own 3 Big Healeys. He owns a rusty 53 Porsche he's working on and age and health concerns requires downsizing. Grew up in the area outside Pittsburgh and gladly picked them up on the next trip home. Ones a 3000ll and the other a 3000lll. The half burnt one is a lll. Planning on putting all 3 back on the road. Two original or close to it. The 3rd a Healey rat racer. Looking forward to numerous conversations and learning a lot along the way.

Hello Bob
Welcome to the forum.

You have some nicely restored cars and truck there. Look forward to seeing the AHs when they are finished.

The AH section is very active so you are sure to get plenty of tips and advice for your AH 3000 projects.

'kay Bob. Where outside 'da 'burgh? And welcome into this forum! I grew up in Scenery Hill, Pa. 50 miles south of the burgh. Across the street from an inn thats been in operation since 1796. Originally called Hills Tavern. That is where you parked your wagons for the night and rested your weary bones; on your way west. At that time west was across the Ohio River. 50 more miles. I think that is why I'm a fanatic with anything old and restorations of such.

David When you show a vehicle like one of those at car gatherings, and its the hit of the show. It makes burning the midnight oil all the more worthwhile.
