For Sale: 1966 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III in Cookeville, Tennessee for sale in Cookeville, TN
Vehicle Description This 1966 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII has been with 2 Tennessee families in the last 50 years.
A young man purchased this Healey around 1970 when he was attending the University of Tennessee, and he kept it until 2007 when it went to its 2nd owner.
It is a very original and unmolested car.
It runs and drives very well.
The entire braking system was rebuilt recently including a new booster, hoses and cylinders.
Steering is tight.
New stainless steel exhaust system She is equipped with a modern 5 speed conversion from The Driven Man.
This is a new transmission and no modifications were to be made to the car for its installation.
The gear lever is in the original position and even looks like the factory 1966 lever and knob.
The gear ratios are much better suited to the Austin Healey engine than those of the old 4 speed.
5th gear is of course overdrive and the gearbox is superior in every way to the original 4 speed with electric switched overdrive.
The original door panels and seats are in very good condition for their age.
It has a new correct spec carpet kit and new burled wood instrument panel.
The top is old, but very serviceable.
The paint is presentable, but it is decades old.
There are several little scratches and chips, but overall she presents well.
The original chrome is in excellent condition for its age, and the glass is good other than some delamination in the corner of the windshield.
The body is very good.
The floors were properly replaced about 15 years ago.
Overall a very straight, solid, honest and original Austin Healey 3000.
She runs and drives very well but needs a little attention to take care of her various squeaks and rattles.
