Welcome to the opportunity to purchase a truly rare and unique British sports car just in time for summer! This 1965 MGB is a highly sought after
chrome bumper, “metal dash”
“pull handle” car with a long list of new mechanicals. The
body is straight and frame chassis and rails are straight and solid. The panel
gaps are good, and doors shut properly; an honest, mechanically sound car, awaiting your cosmetic inclination. It’s
your turn to
take this beautiful palate and create your masterpiece.
This MGB
MKII roadster is powered by a completely rebuilt engine 5 main bearing, 1798 cc inline four cylinder engine painted the proper MGB color. The engine features a Weber DVG carburetor, late
model unleaded compatible cylinder head, and camshaft reground by Schneider to
slightly more aggressive specifications. The engine also includes upgraded electronic
ignition, a new water pump, new radiator, new generator, upgraded gear
reduction starter, and a spin-on oil filter adapter.
The remainder
of the drive train is made up of a properly functioning, electronic overdrive transmission, a new clutch and pressure plate
and new clutch and slave cylinders. The
brakes have been repaired including new rear wheel cylinders and new brake
lines. All suspension bushings have been replaced.
The car has been converted to negative
ground. Standard shocks have been installed in the rear and the original style, troublesome fuel pump has been replaced with a modern, solid-state electronic
fuel pump. The fuel tank has been cleaned, flushed
and sealed. The floors have been repaired. The exhaust system has been upgraded and produces just the right tone. The car sports new minilite wheels and
tires. All the glass is there and the
windows roll up and down. The convertible top bows are included, as is a
tonneau cover.
There is some rust evident along the
bottom of the doors and fenders, and some rust may exist in other places that
are not apparent now. To my knowledge
the car has spent its entire life in California, most of it within the
family.
