1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III, a late Phase II car priced under recent driver sales
Late BJ8 with overdrive at about 24% under driver money. Inspect it before you buy, since the listing has few details.
Why we picked it
Why we picked it: the BJ8 Mk III is the last and most usable big Healey, with a 2,912cc six, twin SUs, front disc brakes, roll-up windows and a walnut dash. Beverly Hills Car Club lists this Colorado Red over black late Phase II car (VIN HBJ8L37530) with a 4-speed plus overdrive, wire wheels and a black soft top, and the dealer calls it mechanically sound.
At $34,750 it is priced below the middle of recent driver-grade BJ8 sales, which have mostly run from the mid-$30s to the mid-$50s. The listing gives no mileage, no title details and no condition report beyond that one line. Treat the discount as conditional until a Healey specialist has looked at the chassis.
The value check
The seller is asking $34,750. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $36,500–$54,500, so the middle of the market is about $45,500. That put this car 24% under.
Driver-grade BJ8s sold on Bring a Trailer between May and September 2026 mostly brought $36,500 to $54,500. Restored cars went higher ($62,000 to $91,000), and the only listed project went for $12,500.

What to check
- The listing gives no mileage, title status, rust or running details. Get the title confirmed and ask for a cold-start video
- BHCC sells as-is with no warranty. Budget for a pre-purchase inspection in person
- Check the chassis rails, outriggers and the box section under the doors, as well as sills, floors and the lower rear shroud, for rust and old repairs
- Look for frame damage from the low ground clearance (exhaust and frame scrapes under the car)
- Check that the overdrive engages, look for oil pressure and overheating issues, and check the wire wheel splines for wear
Making it drive like new
Keep the look and fix the known weak spots: an aluminum radiator with an electric fan, an alternator conversion, electronic ignition and a gear-reduction starter. Add uprated front brake calipers, telescopic rear shock conversions and a 5-speed gearbox kit for highway use. Add modern 3-point belts and an exhaust that clears the chassis better.
