1978 Mgb V8 Convertible - Fully Restored on 2040-cars
Year:1978
Mileage:68000
Location:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
This 1978 MGB # GHN5UJ452399G has undergone a complete custom
restoration. The project started with a very nice rust free AZ car and I
bought it from a dealer in June of 2013. I'm only selling it now because I just
got engaged and need to make room in the garage.
Its all aluminum 215 V8 was rebuilt using a rover 300 crank giving it 260 cu in. An upgraded Iskenderian 262 cam was used for more power. Custom built jet hot coated headers exit through the inner fender. A Carter 4 barrel 560cfm carburetor resides under the K&N air filter. Engine is backed by a fully rebuilt Tremec T5 overdrive 5 speed manual transmission with a Howe hydraulic ram. The rear end leaf spring mounts were boxed and traction bars were added to handle the extra power The combination of the all aluminum v8 and 5 speed transmission is 60 lbs. lighter than the original cast iron 4 cylinder and 4 speed transmission. All of the suspension and brakes were rebuilt or replaced with new parts. The car has a completely new wiring harness. Interior is genuine leather and very nice. Dashboard is custom made of wood and houses all new VDO gauges, though the odometer/speedo works intermittently. I think there's a short somewhere. The title says it has about 65,000 miles. Custom sound system is very impressive and has an amp and sub woofer for a very full sound. The body is very good, totally rust free, with excellent hood, door, and trunk gaps and alignment. Quality paint job fully sanded and buffed in "Monza Red." All of the chrome and stainless was refinished. As you can see it was converted to steel bumpers for a more classic look. The windshield frame was polished as opposed to the brushed original look. There is a small blemish on the rear bumper under the license plate frame the size of a nickel that will not polish out, otherwise very nice. The tops of the door panels have some scratches and nicks but they are very minor. I've added a custom frame and tan Tonneau canvas soft top with stow away bags. No bolt was left unturned on this very nice restoration, not to mention it is quite fast and very fun to drive. I have a thick folder of receipts and manuals from the previous owner documenting the restoration. The MG is located in Philadelphia and available for a test drive. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks. |
