YOU ARE VIEWING A LOW RESERVE ESTATE SALE 1960 AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 MARK 1. THIS CAR HAS UNDERGONE AN OLDER RESTORATION BY CHARLEY NESTER OF CSN MOTOR SPORTS, INC. LOCATED IN PLAIN CITY, OHIO. ALSO KNOWN AS THE "BIG HEALEY" MODEL, THE CAR'S BODYWORK WAS MADE BY JENSEN MOTORS AND THE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED AT THE BMC ABINGDON WORKS. THE 3-LITER 3000 WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAR WHICH WON ITS CLASS IN MANY EUROPEAN RALLIES IN ITS HEYDAY AND IS STILL RACED IN MANY CLASSIC CAR COMPETITIONS TODAY. THE PAINT IS A 9.5 OUT OF TEN AND IS A REDISH DARK CHOCOLATE BROWN. THE COVES ARE A CREAM COLOR. THE ALUMINUM SKIN IS WITHOUT DENTS. THE INTERIOR, CONVERTIBLE TOP AND TONNEAU COVER WERE PERFORMED BY JIM'S TRIM IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, AN OLD TIMER WHO DOES EVERYTHING BY HAND. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE RECEIPTS INDICATE MR. NESTER PERFORMED MOST OF THE MECHANICALS AND PAINT, A MR. LEO RULF ALSO PERFORMED SOME MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL WORK. FOR THOSE WHO KNOW HEALEYS WELL , THE LUCAS ELECTRICAL AND CAR FRAMES CAN BE OF ISSUE. ACCORDING TO THE RECEIPTS, THE FRAME WAS ENHANCED WITH SQUARE CHANNELED BEAMS. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE WHEELS ARE FROM A 1959 AUSTIN HEALEY. ACCORDING TO DOCUMENTATION, THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND REAREND ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, HOWEVER, I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE IF THE ENGINE HAS THE CORRECT CASTING CODE (PICTURE OF ENGINE CODE IS ABOVE). THEREFORE, I WILL NOT GUARANTY THE CAR IS MATCHING NUMBERS. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT HOWEVER. THE OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION SWITCH WORKS AS IT SHOULD AROUND 40 MPH. MILEAGE READS 23,557 BUT THIS IS UNKNOWN TO BE CORRECT. THIS IS NOT A PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE RESTORATION; IT IS A GOOD OLDER RESTORATION/TRAILER QUEEN WHICH HAS BEEN DRIVEN SINCE RESTORATION. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPHS.
