MY PASSION IS FINDING COMPLETELY ORIGINAL CARS AND METICULOUSLY RESTORING THEM. THIS CAR WAS ONE OF MY BEST FINDS. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR AT LEAST THE PAST 31 YEARS. IT WAS COMPLETE AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL DOWN TO THE ORIGINAL AM RADIO THAT WORKS. I REMOVED ALL PAINT DOWN TO BARE METAL, EXPOXY PRIMED AND FINISHED WITH PPG GLOBAL DIRECT GLOSS PAINT. IT WAS THEN WET SANDED, BUFFED AND POLISHED TO A BEAUTIFUL HIGH GLOSS SHINE. THERE WAS ABSOLUTLY NO RUST ON THIS CAR AND THE ENTIRE BODY INCLUDING ALL BODY PANELS, FLOOR PANS AND ROCKERS ARE ORIGINAL AND SOLID. THE BONNET OF COURSE IS ALUMINUM. THE WHEELS ARE CHROME. THE TOP IS NEW AS WELL AS THE STOW AWAY FRAME. THE INTERIOR AND TRUNK WAS CARPETED WITH THE DELUXE CARPET FORM MOSS MOTORS. THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND OVERDRIVE WERE ALL REBUILT. THE CRANK WAS TURNED AND THE CYLINDERS WERE BORED. NEW PISTONS, RINGS, MAIN BEARINGS, ROD BEARINGS, CAM BEARINGS, CAM SHAFT, OIL PUMP, TIMMING CHAIN AS WELL AS MANY OTHER PARTS WERE INSTALLED. AS YOU CAN SEE THE ENGINE BAY GETS AS MUCH DETAILED ATTENTION AS THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. THE GAUGES ALL WORKED FINE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SPEEDOMETER WHICH HAD SOME BOUNCE. I HAD IT REBUILT BY NISONGER INSTRUMENTS. THE DASH WAS STRIPPED AND REFINISHED WITH THE CORRECT BLACK WRINKLE FINISH AND THE DASH TOP WAS RE-COVERED. THE SEATS WERE REFOAMED AND COVERED IN LEATHER (ORIGINAL BLACK WITH WHITE PIPING) FROM MOSS MOTORS. ALL INTERIOR PANELS WERE REPLACED WITH THE CORRECT BLACK WITH WHITE PIPING. THE 1967 MGB WAS FITTED FOR SEAT BELTS BUT THEY WE OPTIONAL. I INSTALLED THE ORIGINAL TYPE SEATBELTS WITH SHOLDER HARNESSES. THE WIRING HARNESS IS NEW AND THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING ABOUT THIS CAR THAT DOSEN'T WORK AS IT SHOULD. GOODING AND COMPANY SOLD A 1967 MGB BRITISH RACING GREEN WITH OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION AT AMELIA ISLAND, FL ON MARCH 7, 2014 FOR $37,400. (THE SALE IS LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE) THE RESERVE ON THIS CAR IS MUCH LESS AND IF PROPERLY CARED FOR IT SHOULD BE A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR YEARS TO COME. GOOD LUCK BIDDING AND IF YOU SHOULD WIN I AM SURE YOU WILL GET AS MUCH ENJOYMENT FROM THIS CAR AS I HAVE. |
