After spending 30 years with the current owner, this Austin Healey 3000 project is available to the next person who has the time, money, and space to complete it. Described as un-rusty, this 3000 has some rust, but is very solid overall. Equipped with a factory hardtop, and some Dayton wires, this one is aching to be completed. The seller is willing to part ways with his beloved Healey for $21,750. Find it here on craigslist out of Davis, California.

Overall the body of this 3000 appears straight, but has had some minor body work. The frame is rock solid, and the exterior body looks to be rot free. On the other hand the floors are a bit thin with some holes, so they may be due for replacement. Originally intended for racing, the Dayton built wire wheels have a nice appearance, and are attached to forged centers with longer splines. The wheels have some rust developing around the outer most edge of the barrel, but they look as if they would clean up, but they still may be due for a truing and inspection of the spokes.

Although there are two engines and transmissions included with the car, the seller has not mentioned if he has the original drivetrain to this 3000. Both engines appear to be disassembled, and it also appears that only one engine is complete. Although the drivetrain needs some work, the seller completely rebuilt the suspension before taking the car apart. The interior photos don’t show much of the cockpit, but the seller claims the car needs interior work. Beyond the needs, and few missing items, this Healey looks like a solid start to a restoration. Would you complete the restoration of this 3000?
