I recently looked at a '69 MGB with wire wheels and overdrive for sale.
Good points:
---------------
body straight
some indications of rust but very very minor and easily repaired
paint and interior okay
runs good, no smoking, good oil pressure 50 at speed, 35-40 at idle
trans shifts smooth
tires brand new, wheels repainted
lights and instruments work
no "crack of doom" in the door
Bad points:
--------------
several bondo areas but none appear to be in the structural areas
wiring is pretty much hacked together
been resprayed a different color; not necessarily a bad thing except there's
overspray in a lot of areas
door glass scratched
car has been sitting off and on (more off than on) for the past 4-5 years
Unknowns:
-------------
compression; nothing done recently
brakes work but haven't been thoroughly checked in a while
can't be absolutely certain about all areas of the body
Question: What would seem to be a reasonable price to pay for this car as
is?
Thanks in advance.
