Back in 73' I had a 65' red mark 3 and it had rollup windows .They said it was the first year to have em and they didn't work that well and never close the door with the window half way up. Loved that car.
our family and friends had/have many big Healeys from a ‘55 to ‘65. Most of them restored out of my parents home shop building in Bothell WA and many of them award winners at West Coast meets and also the big one (50th anniversary meet) in Snowmass Colorado. Love the sound of this ‘67… exactly like my ‘65, painted in polyurethane original equipment black with clear coat. Deep deep wet looking paint. So many good memories owning it and driving it for over 10 years. Sold it to buy a ‘78 XJ6L Jag I then fully restored. I also owned an award winning ‘59 roadster. Colorado Red over Black bored to 3Ltr with tri webers headers, bj8 center shift trans and XKE clutch. Enjoyed it for nearly 30 yrs. Brought it to Germany when I moved here in ‘98. Eventually sold it to a Brit, so the car is back where it was produced. Neat story. Healeys are a blast to own and always a serious eye catcher attention getter… babe magnets!!!

Gorgeous!! You're right - '67 is last & best year for the big Healey. I love the Ice Blue w/ Navy interior combo. (The ice blue is a metallic color, not 'metal flake'.) Electronic ignition conversion done? A nice aftermarket steering wheel would do well.
I’m 67, my buddy had a 68 Healy, it was silver with those same wire wheels, it was beautiful, and really quick, but guess what, it had electrical issues just like my Triumph TR6, that’s when I went American and bought a 72 Vette, and never looked back
In 1980, I foolishly bought my fiancé a used TR7. Absolutely the worst mistake I ever made with a vehicle purchase. I got to know the local Triumph mechanics on a first-name basis. I gave up on it after 8 months.
Electrics on Healey is fairly simple and straightforward. Old wiring can lead to very poor contacts and groundings… diligent time spent checking it thoroughly most always serves one well. BUT it is Lucas… Prince of Darkness
PS the 3 ltr engine Was Also used in the mgc and westminster saloon car and the police used Them in wolseley 300 and the Austin Princess wanden plas 3 ltr, this motor is so good, PS in rare cars like the Austin healey, you could have automatic 3 speed from borg warner, but wery Hard to find Them, thanks again Jay grams and family 😍 and russel from tom your friend now i
@sheldonrobertson5803 - If you are referring to the chrome switch next to the horn button, it looks like the turn signal switch (I knew a British mechanic that called it a "trafficator"). As for the condition of the steering wheel rim, it begs for the kind of leather covers we used back in the sixties, easily laced on and would provide better grip while keeping the new owner from having to replace the wheel (requires pulling the horn/signal switch hub and wires, not a difficult job but can be a bit fussy).
The battery clamp needs sorted asap, it is a complete disaster waiting to happen, it is serious risk of fire if the temporary bracket shorts across the batter terminals. Could you a restorer make such a bodge to secure that battery when the correct bracket is easily available.
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales Don't dignify ignorant comments like that with a response, it's a very old foreign car briefly owned by a museum in the USA. There was no pretense of expertise, the video is fine as is.
