Up for auction is my 1960 Austin Healey 3000 BT 7 with showing 50,650 miles,purchased from a 17 year prior owner who performed a very attractive and credible partial restoration which presents itself well and gets thumbs up and compliments wherever it goes.The car has virtually new looking paint,convertable top,tonneau cover,interior ,60 spoke chromed wheels and new tires,with a Mota Lita steering wheel.Service since my ownership includes new wheel bearings and grease seals,rotors,brake pads,brake caliper pipeing to calipers hose:front brake hoses and calipers freshly rebuilt by Apple Hudraulics.Also new windscreen glass,with seals :lower rubber seal, and re-chromed window trim. In addition new clutch slave cly. and slave hose,spin on oil filter adaptor. Recent oil change and tune up including carb adjustment and synchronization of carbs. The car starts right up and runs,drives and shifts through the gears as it should and brakes straight as an arrow.The electric overdrive operates as it should. With exception of erratic fuel guage all other gauges work as they should with 55-60 lbs oil pressure on startup dropping to and staying at 45-50 lbs after 30 minuets on local country roads .Water temp stays at 180-200 degrees in summer tempretures.No leaks from the engine/gearbox but the steering box does show leakage and requires occasional topping . The car does show evidenc of a prior accident at some point in its history as evidenced by a kink in the frame X-box but does not effect driveability as outlined above. there is a slight crease on the passenger side dogleg near the passenger door.The car did not come with side curtains.Chrome is bright and doors close with no pressure resistance.All in all the car represents a very attractive ,sound,summer driver which can be enjoyed without breaking the bank or worrying about a chip in the paint given the entry price. Please note that some of the pictures were taken this spring while others taken this past week after vacillating on weather to sell. The condition is the same .The wiper blades and arms were removed when the windscreen was replaced and trim re chromed and I never bothered to reinstall given the infrequent use. They are included. The successful bidder shall be required to pay a $500.00 deposit within 12 hours of auctions end and the balance by wire transfer within 5 days( not business days) of auctions end. I realize that the listing mau say otherwise but e-bay lacked provision for these terms which are controlling. The above time periods and method of payment will be the only means acceptable. Failure to comply with any of the payment terms will result in cancellation of your bid and negative feedback. The car will not be released without confirmation from the bank that the funds have been received. New bidders with less than 8 months membership or bidders with 98% or less feedback should contact me prior to bidding or your bid will be cancelled .Indoor storage for up to 30 days is possible provided that payment is timely made. The cost of shipping is on the buyer. I will assist as best as possible to coordinate with your shipping co. International buyers please bid through your US agent as I will not accept international bids. I have tried as best as possible to give an accurate description of the Austin Healey, but this is a 57 year old car. As such the car is being sold as is where is with no warranties or representations and no returns will be accepted.Sorry for the unpleasantries but there are a few E Bayer's who ruin it for the vast majority of honest purchasers. Good Luck and enjoy the ride.
