Description

The year of 1967 signified the end of all production for the Austin-Healey 3000 sports car range.

Options include chrome/stainless wire wheels, heater, overdrive transmission and adjustable steering. Restored specifically for this Barrett-Jackson Florida Auction, this last year production big Healey in this spectacular color scheme is not to be missed.
