Summary:
Used 1978 MG MGB
Description:
1978 MGB V8 Conversion - $8,000This car came to me with a Hawaiian title in the late 1980�s and was one of the first MGB V8 conversion cars assembled in the Chicago area when crafted in the early 1990�s. This car was on the road in the 1990�s and was well known to CMGC club members at the time. Put into storage in 2000 for 15 years then subsequently subjected to an on-again, off-again refurbishment effort. This car was crafted in the spirit of a Tennessee moonshine runner with a nod to Mad Max, at a time when any such project was a �shade tree� DIY effort. Bring your bubblegum & bailing wire! It currently has a 1961 Buick 215ci engine, with all the period correct goodies: Offenhauser dual plane manifold, Trans Dapt H25 bell housing, Carter 500cfm carb, MG V8 Conversion Co (UK) tube headers & motor mounts, BW T-50 trans, and custom dual exhaust. Numerous custom touches to overcome routine challenges. Engine had a $4k rebuild a few miles ago. All new brake hydraulic and friction components. Rust free body, no physical damage. Comes with many extra parts to include 2 complete Buick 215ci engines, a Holley 390 cfm carb, and more. Also included is a group of early V8 conversion newsletters (Wow!). Due to age and other lifestyle changes, I have lost interest in completing and possessing this project. It needs wiring work, paint detailing, new top, new gauges, new tires, possible trans work, and a thorough shakedown and vetting of all systems before being put on the highway. This should not be regarded as a �restored� car. This car is being sold �as is� and should be regarded as a �project car� with nothing taken for granted until proven out by testing.
