Shameless personal editorializing follows: In an endless sea of '60's and '70's chrome-laden, over-built, insanely heavy, boring, underperforming, trashy-plastic American muscle cars, our Austin Healeys stand out as a serious collector car to own. I respectfully submit the following for your enjoyment:
Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car magazine - March, '07
Quoted from a review of recent for sale on '67 Big Healey:
" "Big Healey, big bucks" is almost a mantra in the hobby anymore, but this 1967 Austin Healey 3000 MKlll, the next to last year of production of the Big Healeys and the final year of exportation to the United States, weighed in at a posted $44,000. The Healey had nice polished wires, a four-speed-plus-overdrive combination, new tires and somewhat iffy top fit. Corral ready, in other words. If the mechanicals were as good as the looks, the asking price was clearly on the cheap side. We've seen Big Healeys in really good shape pushing $75,000 and $80,000 of late, so this one was really appealing." [/i]
There you go. Pretty soon we won't be able to drive these cars, just put them up on a pedestal and admire them from afar.
Sigh....
