This 1967 Austin-Healey has been in one family since new, assed down from father to son to brother, here it remained to this day.


It drives like an Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III of this vintage should, owerful in turns with copious amounts of torque coming from its factory-correct 150 horsepower, 912cc (straight six) front-engined layout and fabulous rear-wheel drive setup. None of today’s modern roadsters come close to the feel of the ’67 Austin-Healey 3000. It’s pure romance with a lady that can follow your tango.


Classified as the BJ8, he sound of this ’67 Austin-Healey is amazing thanks to those twin SU carburettors and large exhaust. What truly made ’67 a glorious year for the British Austin-Healey 3000 was the Mark III design, hich was the most powerful and luxurious of all the Healeys. If you've driven the Spritefromthe same period, hen get into the 3000 and see the difference in the way the two cars perform. Both are fantastic roadsters, owever the 3000 is simply the one to own for long-term collectability.


If you’ve never driven a ’67 Mark III, hat a surprise you’ll have!


Think of it like being strapped to a small rocket, safe one. It’s tremendous fun, specially in the twisties of your favorite mountain hideaway, r out on the open road. Austin-Healey clubs are everywhere because of the popularity of the early cars, hich have become true stewards of British craftsmanship, hen things were forged and tooled for reliability and enjoyment.


That’s the great thing about owning an Austin-Healey 3000 from ’67. From a driver’s perspective it was the best year to own, nd the Big Healey as they are called, asn’t just about horsepower and torque. Rather, he Mark III offers the feel and input few other classic roadsters of its time matched, ot to mention servo-assisted brakes brakes and those roll up windows!


It ran head-to-head with the Triumph TR3 in its day and many recall the rivilary there, et in the eyes of some, he Austin-Healey 3000 prevailed, nd does today in rising market values these Mark IIIs are seeing with Hemmings, agerty and other sources.


It was larger, ore powerful and better behaved, lthough to be fair Triumphs also have their followers that are just as loyal.


Perhaps our love affair with the 3000 is due to how the factory telescopic steering wheel feels in your hands, r the way the 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive glides through the gears. Together, there is lots of driver feedback happening inside this particular ’67 Austin-Healey 3000 as is with every good example of the marque.


The 3000 model remains today a true gem for enthusiasts. It’s a perfect driver in every respect, eldom the fear of twitchy oversteer, r unbalanced shifts thanks to a lower center of gravity and motorsports like suspension, he 3000 was made for driving until the sun went down. This ’67 retains that fun to drive attitude.


While Austin 3000s like this Metallic Ice Blue ’67 with darker blue interior in this condition are seen at car shows, his particular roadster 2+2 is no trailer queen. Its a driver’s convertible that needs to see the open skies as you rally from one distination to another.


Another notable aspect of the ’67 is it became the final year for the manufacture of Austin-Healey.


This ’67 shows 39,366 miles on its odometer, as plenty of tread on tires wrapped in the original spoked wheels. The body is straight and seams are tight. It’s very factory stock with the addition of a newer stereo unit in the center console. The seating is in great shape with no visible tears or puntures, nd coloring remains vivid.
