    This is a partially restored 1965 Austin Healey. I am selling this vehicle on behalf of my father. He has slowly been restoring this beautiful vehicle since November 1998.

    Background:
    The vehicle has had a total of three (3) owners. It has been stored in a garage for 25 years prior to my father purchasing in 11/98. The vehicle has been stored in my father's garage since purchase.

    VIN: HBJ8L/27886
    Eng: 29K/RU/AH2555
    Body: 318 CBJ8/72606

    Mileage 59,353 - Original to best of our knowledge.

    Vehicle Description:
    1965 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III BJ-8 Sports Convertible. This vehicle has four speed overdrive transmission, adjustable steering, heater, and 60-spoke wire wheels.

    The body of the vehicle has been repaired and professionaly painted black and gray. The engine has been dismantled and awaiting restoration. New brakes and lines installed. Numerous parts have been purchased and not yet installed including but not limited to:

    * Chrome Front Grille, Front & Rear Chrome Bumpers, All wiring, Seat Frames & Cushions, Gaskets, Hoses/Belts, Spark Plugs, Chrome Lamp Frames, Boots, and more...

    I purchased this car in Nov of 2007. The previous owner sold the car due to health issues. I have completely dismanteled the car and had it stripped (chemically dipped, not sand blasted). The car is now all black with black interior. The original color was cream with black boot, bonnet and side panels. The interior was black as it is now. I am restoring the car for my wife and she wanted it all black. You guys know how that works.....I have the car about 75% reassembled.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
