MG MGB MKIII (1973)
for sale

Price: US $3,500.00

Description:


Professionally converted to Chevy 4.6L V6 with 5-speed manual transmission (BW T-5)
The Good:
* Runs and sounds great through custom header exhaust!* Impressive acceleration, smooth idle - starts right away.* Brand new Holley 4-bbl carb.* MSD Ignition - Edelbrock Intake - Electric Fan* Body is very solid and true.
* Paint is in good condition (see The Bad below...)* Lots of shiny chrome - both bumpers are chrome.* New interior carpet - no cracks in dash - rubber is in great condition.
* New tires - freshly power-coated wheels, new lugs and chrome rings.* All new master cylinder, wheel cylinders, rotors, and brakes.* New battery
The Bad:
* Haven't fixed turn signals, but all other lights work (headlamps, brake lights, etc.)* One wheel is a little out of balance.* I have the soft top frame, but no top.
The Ugly:
* The paint cracked about 2 from surface rust near the left rear corner - not bad, just annoying. (see pics)* Rear main seal leaks about two or three drops after driving.* Head lamp chrome rings have minor surface rust.* Intake and valve covers have minor surface rust (see pics)* Have not re-welded one muffler pipe support, so it does make a minor thump against the body if you hit a big bump.
I am moving very soon, so I need to sell the vehicle to someone who is willing to pay a fair-to-inexpensive price and enjoy the ride! I want to ensure full disclosure, so I am happy to take more photos or video.
