I have debated this for some time, but it's finally time to list granddad's 1966 MGB. My wife's father purchased this car in California in the 80's and did a bunch of mechanical and cosmetic work to the vehicle, including painting the car and upgrading the transmission to a 1976 MGB tranny with overdrive. As listed in the vehicle condition section, the MGB is in great shape overall and at a distance looks pretty good too - especially with the period California black plates and wire knockoff wheels. Vehicle Serial #: GHN3L69497Vehicle Engine #: 18GBVHZ1790 The engine has never failed to start and mechanically the vehicle is in great shape. Recent replacements/fixes include rebuilt radiator, new master cylinder, new rear coils and springs, rebuilt front and rear brakes, and new exhaust. The clutch gets a little loose if driving in stop & go traffic in hot weather, but that's to be expected, and the battery is a bit old and probably could use replacing. Exterior of the vehicle looks good overall especially from a distance, though the paint is a bit faded at this point. There are cosmetic defects, including a scratch on the passenger door, and the rocker panels are a little rusty and need welding/replacing. Also, the driver's side door catch is loose so it needs a good shove in order to latch. Interior of the car is in good shape. The carpeting should be replaced and I'd paint the dash and replace the cassette player with a period BMC radio or MG faceplate. This is the perfect car for someone to do a bit of work to and then have a beautiful driver. There's nothing quite like driving an MGB. So much fun. Vehicle comes with a convertible top that's in very good condition. No rips or tears.On Feb-20-14 at 16:19:58 PST, seller added the following information: Vehicle also comes with a tonneau cover.
