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.

What do you get when you imbue an Eighties car with Twenties (no not Twenty Twenties, but Nineteen Twenties) styling? That’s precisely what Excalibur aimed to do. This Milwaukee-based outfit was the work of Clifford Brooks Stevens, who initially designed the cars for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to create them by himself. Sadly, the project wasn’t as successful as all involved would have expected, and after several failures, Excalibur folded in 1990. Of course, that hasn’t stopped others from creating replicas, such as this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. Built on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS chassis, this 17,688-mile automobile awaits its new owner in Williston, Vermont. It is often said that imitation is the best form of flattery, so the fact that someone built a replica of the Excalibur means that the car is worth checking out. If you’re the kind of person who lusts after the quirky and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what many consider a ‘classic’ or ‘modern classic’, why not buy this car and become its custodian?
The Chevy Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie’s contender in the compact car space between 1962 and 1979. It was quite a departure from Chevy’s other offerings that included full-size and midsize cars, plus sports, muscle and pony cars. Nevertheless, the Nova was a best-seller throughout much of the Sixties, since it represented affordable motoring for the masses who didn’t want a land yacht of epic proportions and eye-watering price. Now, the Nova is a great classic car, as well as a fine restomod platform. This particular 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is a great example of the latter category, as it’s undergone a full restoration and has just 400 miles on its stonking new motor.
Being a manufacturer and making a statement in the ʼ80s was a tough task, as the automotive world was on full blast with cars making the move to more tech and a change in design to suit a massive shift in customer tastes and preferences. Mercedes-Benz in the 80s was peak German automotive and the secret to its success? Staying true to who they are and giving the world true luxury and superior engineering over marketing gimmicks. Present today is this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL, this German classic is a love letter to luxury cruising in style and has just a reported 140,316 miles on its clock.
