1964 Austin Healey 3000 Mk Iii Bj8 Overdrive Non Phase Ii on 2040-cars

 ON FEBRUARY 20, 1964, A GENTLEMAN FROM DALLAS, TX, TOOK DELIVERY OF A NEW AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 MARK III BJ8 AT OVERSEAS MOTORS IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS.  HE DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS ONE OF ONLY 1,390 NON-PHASE II 1964 MARK III HEALEYS TO BE PRODUCED.  HIS 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER HAD BEEN TELLING HIM FOR MONTHS HOW MUCH SHE LOVED THE 3000S, ESPECIALLY THE SILVER BLUE ONES.  WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH SHE INFLUENCED THE PURCHASE , BUT OUR HUNCH IS SHE HAD A GREAT DEAL TO DO WITH IT.  THAT 15-YEAR-OLD NOW OWNS THE 3000 FEATURED HERE, AND HAS DRIVEN AND ENJOYED IT FOR 50 YEARS.

THE VEHICLE IS VERY ORIGINAL WITH EVIDENCE OF MINOR TOUCH UP PAINT SOMETIME IN THE PAST.  THE ONLY EVIDENCE OF RUST IS APPROXIMATELY A FOUR INCH RUST THRU IN THE TRUNK NEAR THE BATTERY AND SURFACE RUST AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD POST.  THERE ARE PAINT SCRATCHES IN SEVERAL PLACES THAT I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PHOTOS. 

THE CHROME AND WOOD ARE IN UNBELIEVABLELY GREAT CONDITION.  THE SEATS, DOOR CARDS, DASH PAD, TOP BOOT AND TONNEAU ARE ALL IN GOOD SHAPE.  THE TOP SHOWS WEAR AND THE REAR WINDOW HAS YELLOWED.  THE VEHICLE IS WELL EQUIPPED WITH WIRE WHEELS, ADJUSTABLE STEERING COLUMN, MPH SPEEDOMETER, LEATHER SEATS AND OVERDRIVE.  ENGINE TUNE-UP AND BRAKE SREVICE WAS JUST COMPLETED.

THIS LUCKY FIND WILL BE AN EASY RESTORATION OR A JOY TO DRIVE AS A SURVIVOR.  CAREFULLY LOOK AT THE PICTURES. THERE MAY NOT BE ANOTHER CHANCE TO PURCHASE THIS RARE OF AN ORIGINAL, RUNNING AND DRIVING 3000 MARK III NON-PHASE II.  IT IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED AN INSPECTED IN TEXAS.
