A fun little car, once you've replaced the wiring harness....and get to know the carbs... and throw the shifter just so....and sync the trans with the engine just so....and ....oh hell, it looks nice anyway! ;)<br />AllanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-76035390879186265422010-06-21T20:38:19.668-07:002010-06-21T20:38:19.668-07:00I singled out the green Austin-Healey 3000 because...I singled out the green Austin-Healey 3000 because in the flesh the paint, chrome and upholstery were beautiful. Perfect. Way better than showroom new. And it was being driven to the show, not trailered.

Front carb took a dump while I was on the Bay Bridge in thick traffic.<br /><br />I was stalled out in the right hand lane (hazards weren't working) talking to CHP messaging machines when I started cranking the starter to turn the tranny to push me forward.<br /><br />After about 40 feet of that I caught the down slope, reached 35 mph, cranked around the giant cloverleaf exit, went through three green lights (the last one a shade yellow) and into a parking spot.<br /><br />The next week I bought a 93 Toyota pick up. The smallest model I could find. 265,000 miles, 24 mpg, and just passed CA Smog again!

We had a Fiat 124 Pinafarina Sport Spider and an old '56 Alfa Romero Giulietta Sprint coupe with a newer TI engine set up hot. Those were an electrician adventure too. Wish I still had the Alfa. After I sold it I found out he just wanted the engine. :-(Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-73176836592550600232010-06-21T11:02:27.047-07:002010-06-21T11:02:27.047-07:00The Italian Cousin to Lucas...
