Hello to all on the MG's list. I'm afraid that I am about to join your
ranks and would like some advice (or is it counseling?) ;^)
Yesterday I drove a '67 MGB-GT that is for sale in town. I'm no
mechanic (yet!), but it appears to be mechanically very solid. There
is rust through on the rockers behind the front wheels and in front of
the rear wheels. The worst patch measures ~2"x8". The rust doesn't
appear to extend under the car. The floorboards are solid.
The seller is the second owner and has had the car for 17 years. She
is selling because she doesn't drive it any longer. She bought after
it had been restored and hasn't had much work done on it. All major
repairs has been done my a MG mechanic in Albuquerque. She has all
records since '67.
The car would come with an extra transmission /w OD (working),
three spare wire wheels, and a box of bits and pieces she's collected
over the years.
The car was originally purchased in Colorado and has spent the last 15
years here in Northern New Mexico.
The car appears to be very stock (2 batts, positive ground). She even
has the original brass hammer for the knock-offs.
The asking price is $4000. It seems reasonable given the extra parts.
Is this a fair deal????
Anticipatorially yours,
mjc
