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?
British roadsters like this 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster look their best in brighter shades of color, which is why red is a wonderful shade for such a car. The paintwork glimmers in the sunshine, while the car’s silver wire wheels with knock off spinners add that ’60s purebred racing machine feel. Of course, it’s a roadster, so you ideally drive it open-topped, feeling the wind in your hair and hearing the rorty engine’s roar. However, should things get too sunny or rainy, there’s a black manually operated convertible soft top that you can deploy. Inside, you’ve got two black leather-upholstered seats and a classic wooden dashboard maintaining the purist vibe that such cars were renowned for in their heyday. After all, a British roadster is meant to give you unfiltered driving pleasure, unaffected by distractions or unnecessary amenities. However, there is a small trunk that can accommodate a couple of soft bags in case you want to take a longer drive and possibly have an overnight stop in between.
This 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster uses a 3.0-liter (actually 2.9-liter if you want to split hairs) inline six-cylinder engine, driving the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission for that classic British sports car feel. The engine uses twin carburetors and can easily cruise at highway speeds. This is truly a car that will make you feel good every time you get behind the wheel.

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!

Designed by the legendary Harley Earl, the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette heralded an era of American automotive greatness that continues today, eight generations and more than seventy years later. Introduced in 1953 as an all-American two-seat sports car, the C1 went through several developmental hurdles before maturing into the beautifully refined machine seen here. By 1959, the Corvette had already received its important 1958 facelift—adding quad headlamps, heavy chrome detailing, and factory-installed seatbelts—making models from this period especially desirable. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in Roman Red with iconic White Coves and located in Florida, represents one of the finest ways to experience the facelifted C1 era. Subjected to a complete show-quality preservation showing under 100 miles since completion, it blends timeless Corvette heritage with tasteful upgrades that enhance drivability while keeping the car’s classic character intact.
