1964 Austin Healey 3000
View Description
This incredibly well done restoration was completed by a local mechanic that found the car in a barn while provided a mobile service for a collector client. The car was originally a California titled car and was brought to Texas in 2008. It was worked on for several years slowly before the previous owner gave up and let the car sit idle for 6 years. Then the current owner came across it in a barn. He purchased the car in 2015 in Houston and did a frame off restoration. They reconditioned & refinished almost every bolt on the car. For any car collector looking for one for his collection would be lucky to be able to get one that looks the way it does. The 3-liter inline 6 cylinder engine was rebuilt. It received all new bearing & rings,the cam shaft & lifters were replaced, new timing chain was added and all the gaskets and seals were replaced, including all freeze plugs. The cylinder head got reworked including new style valve stem seals. The SU carbs were rebuilt and everything was painted correctly. The motor sounds perfect & does not smoke at all. It pulls strong through the whole RPM range....
