This Austin Healey 100-6 was purchased by my father in the early 70's in Seattle. It had been in a wreck and had been repaired by the previous owner. The original engine was replaced with the 6 cylinder engine normally found in the 3000. There was also some substandard body work done with bondo and the gas tank leaked. My father patched the gas tank and did some repairs and maintenance. He drove it for many years and always parked in his garage. In 1995 he moved it to a car port to make room in his garage. On 12/16/1996 I purchased it from him and hauled it to Bakersfield California. I put a few thousand dollars into it. I installed an upgraded oil filtration kit and a new gas tank among other items. Without the skills or the money for a full restoration I lost interest. I stored it for many years hoping that one day I could afford to have it restored. Unfortunately, that day never came. In it's current condition it is not operational. None of the hydraulics are operational. The last time the engine ran was in 2003. It is complete but is in need of a complete restoration.

Since they both came with a 6 cylinder engine. I do know that after the car was repaired by the previous owner the original grill badge was replaced with a 3000 badge. I later purchased a 100-6 badge to make the grill correct. If anyone needs more info on the engine, let me know.

However, the plexiglass is in bad shape.On Apr-15-17 at 14:23:28 PDT, seller added the following information: I have the original soft top frame. When the frame was in the vehicle the front of the frame was held in place with wooden blocks. This didn't look original to me. So it may be missing the pieces that attach the front of the frame to the body. On Apr-18-17 at 11:46:34 PDT, seller added the following information: NEW INFO! With a new battery and fresh gas, I got the engine running! It actually sounded pretty good considering that it's been sitting for 14 years. When I put it the choke and tried to rev the engine it almost stalled. I'm guessing the carburetors need some TLC, after all this time. On Apr-20-17 at 14:44:11 PDT, seller added the following information: RUST UPDATE: Many bidders have asked about rust. The car has been examined and their is rust damage to the rocker panels and the dog legs on both sides to the extent that they will need to be replaced. On Apr-20-17 at 14:48:38 PDT, seller added the following information: more general info: The soft top frame is not the correct year for the car. The original fender beading is missing from the right rear fender.
