Up for auction is a original untouched,3 owner 1960 Austin Healey 3000 showing 82,000 miles on the odometer which ran when parked sometime in 2008 . The car has 3 solid outriggers, solid frame rails and X box with original paint still showing on portions of the rails. The left front outrigger will have to be replaced. The fender wells are solid save the right rear which has had a repair at some point which is up to period repair standards. The car has the usual floorplan ,trunk rust and other associated interior rust which Healey’s suffer from and will require restoration. A inspection of the car shows no evidence of prior accident history save a 5 mph tap to the rear bumper which requires new bracket supports for the rear bumper brackets to bolt to. The only evident non original body panel is the rear deck lid which apparently was replaced with a used part at the time of the above fender bender as evidenced by the color under the deck lid repaint. The remainder of the panels appear original and are straight with good panel fit. Doors open and close with no pressure/resistance or sag. All chrome is fair with no rust through. Wire wheels are straight and the car rolls with ease .The engine turned with ease at the time I acquired the car. Since 2012 the cylinders have been oiled and engine turned by hand at least twice a year and has been kept in dry storage . The Healey is equipped with electric overdrive and engine bay is original down to the Lucas coil. The engine bay is tidy and relatively clean for a car of this age .Cam looks fine . Wiring harness shielding is supple and intact with no bare wires showing . The top(not pictured) is aftermarket new with clear window but there is a repairable hole in the top . Not shown but included are original plastic sliding window panels, front bumper with mounting brackets, top bow and frame and front seats. The bottom brackets to the seats are fine but the seat frames/pans rusted beyond repair. Dash is original and untouched. Essentially this is a complete unmolested car ready for your restoration . N.J. brown title is in hand .Please note that the trailer is not included with the car/purchase price.
