American Street Machines Inc is proud to offer this 1967 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8 for sale. This rare classic Hollywood car came out of the Carrol Oconnor collection.

The 3-litre, 6-cylinder, twin SU carburetors engine produced 150bhp, which was the most of any model in the Austin Healey lineup. The Phase II Healey 3000 improvements included a revised exhaust system, a revised rear suspension to increase ride height for improved ground clearance, and a vacuum brake booster as standard. The 3000 Mark III series BJ8 was the only model in the range of Austin Healeys that featured a lavish cockpit including a dashboard of burled walnut veneer, a center console with the curved windscreen, wing windows and roll-up side windows which were introduced just before on the series BJ7 model. It is clearly the most comfortable and most luxurious of all Austin Healeys. This very correct Big Healey rans and drives great and would make a great addition to any collection.
