Up for auction is this very clean top to bottom 1958 MGA. This vehicle is being re-listed. Buyer backed out of the sale. PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE SALE!Car sold for the buy it now price of $16,000. I bought this car from it's original owner. Thoughts were to enjoy it this summer, but for many reasons I need to sell it soon. The following is a list of the cars new parts, and restoration history. Please view all the photos and ask any questions you may have. The engine is the original 1500. It has had the timing chain replaced with new gaskets by the previous owner. It runs at normal temperature. Pressure at start up is 50psi, drops to 25 when hot. Electric system has all new cloth bound wiring harness, voltage regulator, rear tail lights, coil, points plugs, wires, cap, condenser, and most of the dash switches. New switches include ignition, lights, dash dimmer, high beam switch, turn signal, and wiper. The cooling system has had the radiator boiled out, tested and repaired. New hoses, clamps, thermostat, and heater control valve, and drain cock installed. Fuel system consist of a new fuel tank, hanging straps, hardware, sending unit, all fuel lines, SU rebuild kits, and new air filters. Hydraulics ( brake and clutch) include all new brake lines, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, slave cylinder, and hoses Clutch is in good condition. Brakes have new shoes on the front, and all the drums were cut. Suspension, and rear springs have newer bushings. Driveshaft has new universal joints. Transmission and rear end were said to be in good working order with all fluids changed. Interior consist of new Moss leather black with white piping seats and trim kit. Wood cockpit trim is new along with mounting hardware. Seat bottoms have new wood bottoms, and foam. Please see photo. Steering wheel, and center badge are new Moss replacement parts. Carpeting is an all new complete black loop bound type. The trunk is carpeted as well. The former owner had used trunk liner paint on it. Tires are bias ply tires that were on it. Wheels have been sandblasted, and painted silver. New Moss hubcaps finish them out. I have a good top frame for the car as well as a set of side curtains. The body was reworked and had the inner and outer rockers installed. The A and B pillars were also replaced by the previous owner. The car is painted with a base coat House of Kolor base black paint. It was then sprayed with several coats of clear coat, so it can be buffed more. I noticed a little texture in the paint only in the trunk and hood after it sat in the sun for a while. They were the only two parts that were not stripped down to bare metal when the car was painted. They were straight, and in paint when I got them. I tried to capture it in photos but it does not show up. The fenders are nice quality fiberglass replacements. A new stainless hardware mounting kit was used for all the fender bolts and washers. Body mounting bolts, and gaskets are all new Exhaust is a new falcon stainless kit with a stainless heat shield mounted to new floorboards. Chrome bumpers, over riders, mounting hardware grille and assorted trim pieces are new. This is a very nice MGA with a lot of time and money invested in it. It will need a front end alignment. I am setting a reasonable price on it to hope it sells quickly. As you can see from the photos a lot has gone into this car. Unfortunately financial responsibilities force this sale. The wipers, horn, heater,tach, speedometer,fuel sending unit, temperature and oil pressure gauge all work. The charging system not charging completely, and turn signals need a new flash unit. I will try to have the generator checked time permitting. Voltage regulator is new. I have not been able to give the car a good road test. I have only driven the car around the drive way. It is being sold in as is condition which is a very solid, and clean almost completely restored MGA. There is no implied warranty with the car. Again, please ask any questions you may have, and check my feedback. If you want to check the car out please let me know.
