1967 original Austin Healey 3000 BJ8 Mark III 49,000 original SURVIVOR" Historically  documented with rare factory
production windscreen card with hand written notes from factory workers plus Spanish SHIPPING PAPERS AND DOCUMENTS
2nd owner in great condition.original everything and SOLID!  Drive anywhere!  Investors and Austin Healey
enthusiast take note:
FIRST A LITTLE HISTORY: Taken off the assembly line and shipped to Barcinola Spain by special request 1967.
Originally was destined for Chicago and made to U.S. Specification, however was refitted with euro signal lenses
and factory locking fuel cap before it left the factory. Spent a year in Spain and then was loaded onto the Spanish
Sea liner "COVADONGA" From Spain it was shipped to Bilabo New York port (I HAVE ALL THE SHIPPING DOCUMENTS) then
taken to its original owner in Valparaiso Indiana where it called home until I bought her from a estate in 2007. I
have a old news paper clipping of the Long time owner being installed as president of the Ellwood works management
Assn. of U.S Steel 1970 found in the glove box along with his golf tees,8 track tape and player hidden under the
dash AND period Vietnam era milatary backpack still stowed in the boot, like going back in time! I also have a
photo of the "SISTER" Healey and owner that was built on the assembly line directly in front of mine. A exact
duplicate minus the euro mods.
ORIGINAL "Factory production card with factory worker hand written notes" Spanish shipping documents shipping
papers and hand book.A very well documented Healey with personal history.
FACTORY CHALK MARKS:  See photo showing factory yellow "67" chalk marks still present in boot wheel well left side
of spare tire.  
Rare factory installed locking petrol cap which shares the ignition key. 
CAR STRUCTURE: All solid top to bottom, solid floors,boot floor, toe boards,outriggers,frame rails straight as a
arrow with much of the original British Racing Green paint still intact!
INTERIOR: extremely nice original interior with very crisp wood dash and gauges, dash pad, door panels, and rear
seating area.The long time owner always drove with the top up! He liked the sports car feel, but did not care for
the convertable consept!  Therefore, a well preserved interior... I did install new carpets and sound and heat
insulation for a more comfortable ride. Original seat covers are in wonderful condition...I did install new seat
foams for more comfort and support.  Talk about a period 67 Healey BJ8.... It did not have seat belts installed!  I
had to install period style seat belts in 2010
DRIVE TRAIN AND MOTOR: All original and never removed from car. Starts, idles, and runs great! Car routinely driven
on 100 mile weekend trips with never a problem. Motor bay was nicely detailed to all original spec. I have the
original radiator that goes with the car.
TRANMISSION: Flawless, Shifts smooth into all gears and reverse, Overdrive functions perfectly as it should and
great on interstates. Clutch is in very good condition and engages smoothly. 
BRAKE system: All rebuilt front to back with rebuilt from calipers, cut rotors and rear drums,soft lines,front
wheels bearings, new rear brake cylinders,clutch slave cylinder and converted to dot 5 for much better reliability.
COOLING SYSTEM: New all aluminum radiator with larger core, Texas cooling fan, proper sleeved thermostat,new water
pump, new hoses and correct hose clamps,fresh green coolant added.recovery expansion tank installed for a sealed
cooling system.  
CARBURETORS: Newly rebuilt with S.U. Kits and properly tuned to Midwest conditions. New moss fuel tank and S.U.
fuel pump for a clean fuel system. I have original fuel tank as well.
Tires: 5 new Nexon tires and tubes, all balanced with new front end professional alignment...drives smooth at all
speeds!  I really love the Nexon tires, very confindent inspiring in all conditions.
EXHAUST SYSTEM: all stainless steel front to back!
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:  All original and still retains positive ground , fuctions perfectly in great condition. 
OIL SYSTEM: new up graded spin on oil filter adaptor for much better reliable sealing and filtering.  (I have the
original canister oil filter)  I removed cleaned and resealed the oil pan, 
Original paint is what can be expected of a 50 year old car! But still in presentable condition for its age, as the
original soft top, has split seams however can be restitshed. All body panels are solid! Has some dings as can be
expected but nothing serious. Since the car is a survivor I wanted to leave most of the paint and top alone as
everyone who sees the car agrees  Like wearing a comfortable old leather jacket! They are factory original only
once and not many factory built survivors left in the world in this very nice condition with documents, pictures
and history.  I simply wanted to do a "historic light mechanical restoration"   All that was needed to a already
nice condition factory built original time capsule Healey.   The last year built and higher horse power factory
Austin Healey.
