73 MGB GT

COMPLETELY RUSTFREE FORMER CALIFORNIA MGB GT !! VIN# GHD5UD297143G

Listed for sale by Coventry Garage LLC is a 1973 MGB GT chrome bumper car with its original 4 Cylinder engine and 4 speed non-overdrive transmission THAT IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. This car has newer pale primrose yellow paint, black cloth seats recovered in original material, .30 over pistons in a rebuilt engine (by former airplane mechanic owner), rebuilt clutch and most suspension. We have reduced the price to $7000.00 for this great RUSTFREE car. This car is ready to be driven anywhere! 

Here is a nice, fun, reliable, turnkey sports car. The previous owner’s, a father and son team, had the car for about 15 years. The car was formerly owned in CALIFORNIA and we have the previous title to prove it. The motor was completely rebuilt by the father who was an airline mechanic for US Airways; they replaced the front and rear suspension and springs; upgraded the carbs to 1 3/4 inch SU’s; new oil cooler, spin off oil filter, painted the engine compartment black and repainted the car, installed an all new exhaust, clutch slave cylinder and new floor mats and shifter boots. This car runs and drives very nicely and is just as clean underneath as is the beautiful pale yellow paint (which has only one 2 inch scratch on the passenger side fender which we have applied paint to). We have seen NO evidence that this car was ever in an accident. We just clay barred the car and buffed the paint- it looks very nice! This car runs, brakes and shifts very nicely. Although the speedometer/odometer reads just over 26000 miles, the car is titled as EXEMPT mileage. The original color of this car was a "mustard" yellow or gold as seen in the trunk photo. There is no rust in the trunk area at all.

The paint job over a rust free body is about 10 years old.  Original door panels, seats recovered in the original cloth material, older carpet could be upgraded but presentable as is. All lights, horns, switches and gauges work as they should. The radio does not work, the speakers are mounted behind the seats and the car has no rear seat but just has a piece of carpet there. This car just needs a new radio and attention to the rear seat interior pieces to be a show car. A new radio consol/surround comes with the car. The five tires are Cooper Cobra radials with about 75% tread. The wheels are the original Rostyle wheels and they have been repainted and look great. The car still has the original jack in the factory original bag. I have taken a lot of pictures and include the 24 that best show this car and the great condition it is in. It runs very nicely and is a pleasure to drive. I have personally driven the car about 50 miles at up to 65 MPH with no shimmy or steering wheel shake and no brake vibrations at all. This MGB GT will make an inexpensive fun summer car for the lucky buyer.

This car is VERY CLEAN AND RUSTFREE UNDERNEATH.  You will not find a better chrome bumper MGB GT anywhere. This car was titled as an antique car in Pennsylvania with exempt mileage. These cars are getting hard to find especially in this condition!
