1965 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III

This 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III was built in May 1964 and originally dispatched to San Francisco, California. The vehicle was listed on BaT in September 2020 and is now being re-listed after having the harmonic balancer rebuilt. Power is supplied by a 2. 9-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The car is equipped with vent windows and a dual-exit exhaust. The pictured black California license plates were reportedly assigned to the car in 1965. 15? wire wheels with two-eared knockoff spinners are wrapped in 185-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires installed in July 2018. Brakes and other mechanical components were refreshed in May 2018 at Sport & Specialty of Durand, Illinois. The 2+2 interior is trimmed in black upholstery and features roll-up side windows, burl wood dash veneers, and red three-point Lifeline seatbelts with 1966 dates shown on the tags. A banjo-style steering wheel fronts factory instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and a five-digit odometer that displays approximately 5k miles; true mileage is unknown.
