1964 Mgb - Professionally Re-built on 2040-cars
Year:1964
Mileage:65000
Location:
Laguna Hills, California, United States
Nice
car, runs great. Believed to be a Southern California car. Car needs paint and
some body work. Last paint shop did poor surface prep work.
Car has not been in any accidents since present owner took the car in 1980. Car was undriven from 1985 until 2010.
The engine was completely taken apart and re-built. The entire car was
dismantled and re-built. The mechanics were told to keep, rehabilitate and
re-use as many original parts as possible and parts that could be maintained. The
emphassis was on keeping the car as original as possible, rather than making it
a perfect show car.
All cockpit interior and windshield (not frame) was replaced. Dashboard and
gauges were cleaned and rehabilitated; seats and seat-back cushions were
replaced, new seat frames with slides, all new seat coverings and door and rear sitting/luggage compartment
panels. Complete carpet throughout - floors, drive-train/transmission hump,
rear sitting/luggage compartment (not boot), etc. Coordinated black with white piping.
Extras for new owner include: new black convertible soft-top, snaps and
eyelets (all still in the box from Moss), original 2-piece folding frame (not
fold-down) for the top, and windscreen wipers. Original rear boot lid was run
over and destroyed by a body shop and replaced with one that can be made to fit better, or can be replaced.
Boot lid is the only part of the car which is known to have any Bondo. All
chrome body side trim is straight and true.
Re-build work was done by professionals during 11 to 12 years and cost
approximately $18,000. There are more than 50 photos taken during the re-build
to show much of the work that was performed. Photos will be sent on request.
Letting the car sit under a car-cover in a 3-sided enclosed carport 5 miles
from the beach month after month is no good. Complete restoration can make this
car a winner.
Total mileage is unknown, but estimated to be around 65,000 miles. The car has
been driven less than 100 miles during the past 4 years.
Supposed experts who buy-sell and "restore" British cars say this is a solid car which should sell for between $7,500 and $9,500.
