#1 Mashed Barn Find Austin Healey 3000 Still in Barn

"Here doggie, here doggie" Mud dobbers and about 20 years of dirt and mold cover this 1960 BN7. Remarkably the car has only surface rust. A tree fell on it years ago after the owner died. Then it found sanctuary in this lovely barn. It was originally Healey blue. The second layer of paint appears to have protected the metal. Floors and undercarriage are solid. It had a wierd sea foam green motor and engine components. Peolple say that is not an original color yet I have seen other Healeys with engines the same color. It now has the standard engine color.

Yep. You can see it in running state at our BG Euro Classics car club web site or on Google Video. Just Google "BG Euro Classics" The video is around 30 minutes and won't fit on Youtube. It's a scruffy driver for now. I plan a full restoration. It will return to the original Healey blue. Cheers

Yeah, you are right- it is a BN7 and I had one too.
They are rarer than rocking horse shit and very well worthwhile restoring ( ALL Big Healeys are, but especially this one ! ). It has non standard wire wheels, but what the fuck !

They came with wires also. Ciao
When I first heard ... ( 1 year ago by scheese)
When I first heard about it it was not yet smashed. After several years the barn was going to fall in so they had the car moved out in the yard. Within a week a tree fell on it!! I tell her I may be able to help sell it if not buy it. I go take a look and I fall in love of course. I notice it has NO significant rust. It is a rare BN7 two seater. Everything appears original except for the dark blue re-spray. I tell her we need to work out a price. More but limited.. Vroom
Do you want to ... ( 1 year ago by obiscob)

I have found that ... ( 1 year ago by obiscob)
I have found that YouTube prevent the insertion of any emails addresses in outgoing posts. Kind makes it dificult to do as I suggested. Cheers

Wow, that's amazing ... ( 11 months ago by maureyrd)
Wow, that's amazing. I'll look for the other vids on your car too. There were about 355 of the BN7's produced (at least in 1961-62) with a significant number coming to America. The BN7's were true 2 seaters with a triple carb setup. I have one that is in pretty rough condition due to its presence in Gulfport, Mississippi on August 29, 2005....the last conversation of any significance that my father and I had was about restoring it and I pray I can.
Come on! Do it ... ( 11 months ago by scheese)
Come on! Do it before you are dead! We wanna see. Please post videos or at least get some shot on Webshots so we all can see the progress from the current state. Lemme know what transpires.
Cheers,
S

I sent a response but not sure where it went...There are plenty of folks willing to talk you through it at the Austin Healey Club USA. register on the mailing list. Get er on the road.
