1966 Austin Healey 3000 Mk III Description

Welcome to Street Dreams in Texas as we celebrate our 21st year in the classic and muscle car business. The Austin Healey sports cars of the 1950's and 1960's were the product of a joint venture between the Austin Division of the British Motor Corporation and the Donald Healey Motor Company, a renowned automotive engineering and design firm. The collaboration reached its zenith with the more powerful and luxurious 3000 Mk III in 1964. Equipped with power front disc brakes, roll-up windows, and a center console with walnut-veneer dash, these cars have been embraced by Americans ever since. This beautiful 1966 Colorado Red 3000 Mk III is an excellent example of the breed and comes with a certified copy of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust factory record. This critically important document (don't buy one without it!) lists the original features of the car as it left the factory. This gem (chassis # H-BJ8-L/36072) was well-equipped from the factory with wire wheels, heater, adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen, overdrive, roadspeed tires, and a black tonneau cover. One of the previous owners purchased it at he 2006 British Car Union Show from the 3rd owner. All subsequent work was performed by Mark Baker at Sport and Specialty, a highly regarded expert. The interior, seats, and upholstery are original, while the Colorado Red paint was freshened up 24 years ago and the Wilton wool carpets are new. All the mechanicals were rebuilt or replaced for safety and reliability (brakes, suspension, transmission, etc.). The engine was rebuilt in 2008 (excellent photos) and the tires, wheels, and hubs are all-new. This is a fresh and usable classic that is currently experiencing a steep appreciation curve.
