Doubtful. The MGC isn't considered any more (or much more) rare than an
early chrome bumper MGB. Price differences aren't much between restorable
and driving cars, but the difference in price is really only seen in only
concourse quality restored MGCs, which than beat an MGB hands down.

BTW, 8999 MGCs (in total) were produced from 1967-1969. Classic and
Sportscar maintains a 9013 total MGC production number count. I don't think
I've ever seen an MGC without wirewheels (unless aftermarket wheels). The
overdrive is nice, but would be more "rare" if it were an automatic trans.
