Popularly known as The Big Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 is a British roadster that’s got a larger-than-usual engine stuffed under its hood. While British roadsters of the period are known to be diminutive things with dinky four-cylinder engines under the hood, the Austin-Healey 3000, as the name suggests, plunks a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine under its hood. This makes it a rather interesting proposition to drive, particularly in North America where the roads are wider and less curvy overall, than in Britain. So, if you want a British roadster with some brutish power, check out this 68,000-mile 1958 Austin-Healey 3000 that’s for sale right now. The car is reported to be mostly original, making it a great future investment too.
Wearing a shade of green that suspiciously looks like the iconic British Racing Green, this 1958 Austin-Healey 3000 is every bit a British roadster waiting to go for a drive. The car is 157 inches in length, less than a modern subcompact crossover. Yet, it’s got a sizable engine under the hood, as we’ll discover shortly. The car rolls on wire wheels with reportedly new tires, and comes with a black convertible top as well. The top is there to keep you dry in case you encounter a sudden rain shower during a spirited drive. Spirited drives will be the order of the day in this 1958 Austin-Healey 3000 every time you enter its tan two-seat passenger cabin and sit in the driving seat. This is a true British roadster, with low-back leather seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a manual gear shifter, and a bevy of gauges. You won’t find any digital distractions or unnecessary features here; everything focuses on the pure act of driving in an analog manner. If you want music, you’d better have a Bluetooth speaker on hand. You’d also better ensure that it’s charged because you won’t find a USB or even 12-volt power socket in the cabin. However, this car does have a heater and ventilation fan for some comfort.
Under the hood of this 1958 Austin-Healey 3000 lies a 3.0-liter carbureted in-line six-cylinder engine. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed synchronized manual transmission and a solid rear axle. The transmission also features an overdrive unit, which is helpful for maximum fuel economy when cruising on the highway. Front disc and rear drum brakes are on hand as well, and provide ample stopping power.

Produced between 1959 and 1967, the Austin-Healey 3000, popularly called the Big Healey, is a British roadster that featured an uncharacteristically large engine. While your typical British roadster at the time packed a diminutive four-cylinder engine of 1.5-liters or less, the Big Healey stuffed a potent 2.9-liter six-cylinder under the hood. This made it quite thrilling to drive, and quite a few made it to the United States too. However, the numbers are still quite low, so finding one may not be as easy as you think. That’s why we’ve got a 1990 Austin-Healey 3000 Sebring Replica for sale today, from Williston, Vermont. Built upon a Mustang chassis, this car has got less than 20,000 miles on it and is a great way to experience British open-top roadster motoring with some modern convenience features.
With its famously friendly face that is most likened to an inquisitive frog (hence the nickname Frogeye), the Austin-Healey Sprite is a lovable British roadster that was made between 1958 and 1971. With its small road footprint and frugal four-cylinder engine, it redefined what driving fun could be. Despite being the polar opposite of what most Americans considered to constitute a fun or sporty car, some examples did make it here. Case in point, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite for sale in Pennsylvania. With a smidge over 53,000 miles on the clock, this spunky little car is the perfect way to treat yourself to something fun to drive, as well as a definitive appreciating asset!

Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability.

Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
