Name:Micah Washburn
Location: Burlington, VT
Means of contact: PM here
Price: $1900
Description: The time has come to offer up my project car, a highly modified 1972 MGB Roadster. I had plans to do an extensive restoration and upgrade the engine, transmission, and suspension, then use it as a street/track car, but a new project has come my way and I would like to pass this one on.
The good:
-The car has had countless hours of bodywork done to widen the front and rear fenders
-Custom molded running boards to join the flares together
-The front bumper and grille area are also one-off
-All bodywork is STEEL, no crappy fiberglass or plastic
-Aforementioned bodywork makes this a truly unique, one-of-a-kind car that will be stunning after a restoration
-Bright red paint shines up very nicely
-Engine is free and turns over
-Runs if you pour gas into the carb
-Vintage Cobra alloy wheels
-Vintage luggage rack on trunk lid
The bad: Basically, it needs a full restoration:
-Car has been sitting for several years now
-Top is trashed (I do have a tonneau-style top for it that needs new zippers that will be included with the sale)
-Interior is pretty well shot from rain damage/sitting
-Brake system needs to be gone through
-Fuel system needs to be gone through, as gas does not get to the carb
-Transmission/clutch are frozen, will need rebuild or replacement
-Front floor footwells are rusted, will need to be patched/replaced
-Trunk lid is dented
-Will need a respray when you finish everything
I bought the car a year and a half ago from Jason at East Coast Collision and Restoration in Mt. Holly, but the individual/shop that initially did the bodywork is unknown. The car is currently in storage in Georgia, VT, where it can stay for the remainder of the season with a deposit, or come pick it up and haul it away now.

Asking $1900 for this unique little Brit, but as always, CASH TALKS, I'm willing to make a deal.
Happy New Year!
