MG MGB (1979)
for sale
Price: US $1,000.00
Price: US $1,000.00
Car is in great condition for weekend driving fun. Mechanically solid, could use tuning of carburetor. Has been upgraded with a Weber down draft carb. New clutch slave cylinder. Fun to drive, just doesn't work for me with a family of four. Known problems, there is short discharging the battery even when key switch off. I have been disconnecting battery cable to save battery. The horn/turn signal/high beam switch on steering column is broken, everything works, but the lever does not click and stay in place for high beam. I suspect this as source of short/battery drain. The only other significant damage is a spot on the passenger side dash (see photo). Overall great condition for a 1979 year model car. Top is in great shape, see photos with it up and down. Could be mint condition with rub and polish, and a few accessory pieces replaced. Chrome beauty rings around wheels could use replacement.
For sale locally, and designated for local pickup. Any shipping arrangements would need to be made by the buyer. Can deliver with 100 miles of Knoxville, TN for minimal charge. Contact me with location to discuss arrangements.
