Subj: '73 MGB-GT For Sale in Pennsylvania
DEAR SOL'ers'
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE BEFORE I ADVERTISE IN THE PAPER AND PEOPLE START
BREAKING DOWN MY DOOR TO BUY THIS CAR

HELLO from:

Eastern Pennsylvania, USA
I'm selling my '73 MGB-GT because I have too many cars and the other ones all
qualify for antique tags and low insurance rates. The car has over 100,000
miles on it, but the engine was rebuilt by a Jaguar restorer for one of his
kids; it had been in that family since new.
Key points:
- New Pennsylvania inspection stickers
- New Weber DGV carb
- Front end just professionally rebuilt (new kingpins, all new MGB V8
bushings)
- New exhaust system (except front pipe)
- Reconditioned front brake calipers approx. two years old
- New rear wheel cylinders and brake hardware and shoes
- New rotors and pads
- Master cylinder approximately two years old
- New brake hoses
- New hand brake cable
- Front shock absorbers approximately two years old
- Rear shocks in good condition
- New trans mounts, engine mounts in good shape
- New steering rack boots
- New chrome grille (other chrome very good; also have original grille)
It was repainted in black Imron and from fifteen feet away is stunning (up
close it looks pretty good). Interior is Autumn Leaf with cloth seats and is
in very good condition. It has five Rostyle wheels with good tires.
Now for the rust report. The car is very sound structurally. The spring
attachment points and so forth are all solid. The floors are solid. The
inner sills are solid. The outer sills are in pretty good shape. The rocker
panels have been flushed out through holes made under the aluminum door
threshhold plates and treated with Eastwood Oxi-solve to inhibit further
rusting . The front and rear quarter panels have some Eastwood Metaglas
filler in them. The local MGB restorer (a good one) says the sills probably
have four or five years before they might need rebuilding. It's pretty good
for an East Coast car in this price range.
That's it. My conscience is perfectly clear. It's a decent car that looks
good and runs well. I'm hoping to get a between $3,000 and $3,500 for it
