OWNER HAS REDUCED THE RESERVE FROM$25,000. TO A "BUY IT NOW" PRICE OF $17,500.00. THIS IS A (3) DAY AUCTION.
COMING OUT OF DRY STORAGE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, THIS IS A VERY DIFFERENT AND POSSIBLY RARE AUSTIN HEALY 3000. THE DIFFERENCE IS RELATED TO THE MOTOR AND DRIVE TRAIN. MANY YEARS AGO, THIS AUSTIN WAS SENT TO HOLMAN MOODY OF CHARLOTTE FOR INSTALLTION OF A FORD ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. HOLMAN MOODY INSTALLED A FORD 289 (V8) AND A FORD 4-SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE RUMOR, WHICH CANNOT BE VERIFIED, INDICATES THAT FORD COMMISSIONED A PROJECT TO CONVERT FIVE OF THESE VEHICLES TO COMPETE IN THE FIA RACING CIRCUIT. AGAIN, FORD DENY'S KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AS DOES THE ENGINE BUILDER. SINCE BROUGHT OUT OF STORAGE, THE OWNER HAS SPENT OVER $5,000. IN ENGINE REHAB AND MISCELLANEOUS REPAIR. THE FORD ENGINE HAS IT'S ORIGINAL SINGLE HOLLY 4-BARREL CARB, SOLID LIFT CAM AND HEADERS. THE MOTOR IS PRODUCING 300 PLUS HORSEPOWER AND IS AN 11.6 TO 1 COMPRESSION RATIO, OBVIOUSLY, NOT SUITED FOR PUMP GAS. THE DUAL EXHAUST EXIT AT THE REAR. THE EXTERIOR HAS BEEN REPAINTED SOMETIME IN IT'S LIFE TO A METALLIC REDISH BROWN. THE PHOTO'S LOOK MORE REDISH BURGANDY, BUT AN UP CLOSE LOOK REVEALS A BROWNISH COLOR. THE PAINT IS IN FAIR CONDITION. THE INTERIOR IS BLACK AND LOOK'S WELL FOR A CONVERTIBLE. THE WIRE WHEELS WITH KNOCK-OFFS ARE ORIGINAL. THE REMOVEABLE SOLID TOP WILL REQUIRE A NEW REAR WINDOW AS IT HAS FADED. A FEW ITEMS IN THE DASH AREA WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. I.E. STEERING WHEEL CENTER CAP, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. ALL CHROME ITEMS LOOK WELL AND DO NOT REQUIRE REPLATING OR REPLACEMENT. THE OWNER HAS ADDED SEVERAL FEATURES TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO PASS INSPECTION. THIS IS CURRENTLY LICENSED AND DRIVEN SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. THE TITLE IS IN HAND AND CLEAR. IN CONCLUSION, THIS IS NOT A PROJECT CAR. IT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A 1960 VEHICLE THAT IS IN VERY GOOD UNRESTORED CONDITION. IN REVIEW OF THE DESCIBED INFORMATION AND PHOTOS, PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS AND THEY WILL BE ANSWERED TO THE BEST OF AVAILABLE KNOWLEDGE. THE OWNER REQUIRES A $1,000 DEPOSIT FROM THE WINNING BIDDER IN USD WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION END. BALANCE WILL BE DUE IN USD PRIOR TO TITLE CONVEYANCE. WINNING BIDDER TO PAY ALL SHIPPING COSTS. WINNING BIDDER CAN PICK-UP VEHICLE AT SELLERS SOUTH CAROLINA LOCATION. IF SHIPPED, DESTINATION AND SHIPPING COST TO BE PAID BY BUYER, OF WHICH SELLER WILL ASSIST WITH ARRANGEMENTS.
