Austin Healey 3000 Mark III HBJ8L 32276 1965 95% complete

Vehicle Description

Second time listed. I am putting this Austin Healey out as an auction instead of a buy it now. 7 days and it will be someones rare project at a price far less than just the original parts in it. This is a left hand drive, on last listing I had checke the wrong box. Look at photos of engine, SU carb/ manifold. The entire drive line /braking system/ suspension system all on the car. knock off wheels & more.

This is a 1965 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8-L. Barn find, 95% complete car.

This car has not moved for 48 years. It does roll except for a locked-up brake on the driver front. It is in overall rough condition, but many rare parts are present…it is the best of the Austin Healey's! From what I can see it has a rusty body and the interior is bad. Windshield is intact and it does have both windows in the doors. Buy it for parts or start your new restoration project.

I have done NOTHING to car but clean the dirt and carpeting out. The floors in the cabin and trunk need complete replacing. The gas tank is bad. The starter motor and oil filter housing were in trunk. From what I can see all under hood parts appear to be there. Doors, hood and trunk all open and close. Wiring overall is shot. Convertible top frame metal is present.

Full restoration is needed.

The engine appears to be the all-original inline 6. This would be the higher horsepower (150 bhp) big Austin six with a higher lift cam. No oil pan on car. I pulled the spark plugs and they looked ok. Could not hand crank motor. The original dual SU HD8 carb/intake setup looks to be present minus one air cleaner.

The rest of the drive line, as far as I can tell, is present (5 speed transmission and rear end). Function unknown. No mufflers.

Serial number plate is present and reads:H-BJ8-L 32276. The body plate states 3208BJ8 77226 .This car comes with a bill of sale from individual I bought it from and a bill of sale from me. No title can be found. I do have the DMV-issued 1977 tagged CA license plate which I could find no information on.

THE BONNET AND THE BOOT LID SHOW ALL THREE OF THE ORIGINAL JENSEN NUMBERS L126. THE ENTIRE CAR IS ORIGINAL AND WAS BUILT IN JUNE OR JULY OF 1965.
