1962 Austin Healey 3000 MkII BT7 tri-carb.
Fully-documented restoration featuring:
Respray in original Colorado Red
Fresh upholstery & carpet
Replacement NOS block
Original bare block (in crate) with engine tag
Overhauled original transmission with overdrive
New wire wheels
New tan top and black tonneau
New side curtains
Paint and Chrome
The first thing noticeable about this Healey is its nice respray in the original Colorado Red color (as confirmed by the Heritage certificate). Just detailed and buffed, the paint--done when the car was restored about ten years ago--looks fresh and shines deeply.
The chrome all looks fresh with virtually no pitting. The chrome wire wheels look as new (and the original wheels will convey to the new owner as well).
The body and underside of the car are free of rust and make clear that this car was the subject of a full restoration.
Interior
The original red upholstery was redone in tan vinyl and makes an excellent contrast with the Colorado Red exterior. The door panels and all four seats are in excellent condition. The carpet is a matching dark brown.
The padded dash is in good condition and free of cracks. All of the engine/systems monitoring gauges (temperature, fuel and oil pressure) work properly. Similarly, the speedometer and tachometer work, as does all of the safety equipment (lights, horn, wipers, etc.). The turn signals will require some attention to get them to work properly as will the new top and side curtains that will need repairs and/or adjustments to get them to fit properly (they have never been used on the car).
Engine
The car's 2,912 cc engine was replaced less than 1,000 miles ago with a New Old Stock (NOS) block and was fully rebuilt [we have the factory crate that it came in as well as the car's original block and engine tag]. The engine starts right up and runs like new. It is nestled in a fully-detailed engine bay.
Transmission
The transmission with electric overdrive was rebuilt at the same time as the engine, and it shifts properly. The overdrive engages and disengages as it should, allowing extended highway cruising at reduced engine RPM.
Tires/Wheels/Brakes
The virtually new tires, Kumo 165R15s, are mounted on 4 new chrome spoke wheels, and the same size spare is mounted on one of the original wire wheels, properly secured in the trunk. The car's radio is not working.
