    I am thinking of canning my 3000 Healey project Factory black with red int

    The body and hard top are perfect Orig car 16,000 bodywork 20,000 its perfect!
    The interior is done but not installed 4500

    New wire wheels and tires - 3000
    New Racing Alum cylinder head - 6000
    Toyota transmission - 2500
    All sorts of the best parts Racing radiator 1500
    Extra Oil cooler Balancer New Heater system 2000
    Rebuilt gauges all around 750
    Heat blankets everything I could find NOS Les Leston 1000
    fog light covers straps and 500.00 fog lights
    many many more items

    Engine was pulled three years ago and not touched yet.

    Anyone know what this is worth or is it better to put it all together and sell it?

    Hate to say it, but unfinished project cars are dirt cheap, unless they're complete, numbers matching, etc etc.

    I would contact Four in Tune or another Healey restorer to find out if they have a need. I'm not sure a Toyota transmission or other aftermarket parts are going to add to the value. Maybe just focus on the original bits you have, starting with the body and hardtop. I would guess that's where the value is.

    The Toyota transmission is a Smitty's conversion - I have been offered full price on that :)

    what year is it and how much you want for it?

    My old man had a 67 Healey 3000...I remember it vividly as I rode in the back jump seats. Probably too much for me in terms of $$ and time to complete, but curious.
