Lauren Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hey guys, my father passed away last October and never found the time to restore these MGs. I know there are all the parts (plus some from another 1969 that he had stripped) but it is in obvious disarray. Asking $1,800 each OBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintage1 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 That hardtop can be worth almost what your asking for the whole car. It is common to see them for sale from $1200.00 to $2000.00 depending on the condition. Checkout MG Experience , www,mgexp.com , you might also check some of the MG car clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Pull them outside and give them a good clean. Will be easier to sell and few hours work will be worth 100's extra. Photo graph the parts. Any rust? To me $1800 each is a little optimistic. What is V8 block for? I also note a 6 cylinder head gasket (Plymouth?). Usually these MGB's are 4 cylinder, but some are 6 cylinder and few late model have a Rover(Buick) V8 Other car for sale by the same poster https://forums.aaca.org/topic/356313-1941-plymouth-restoration-for-sale-houston-tx/?tab=comments#comment-2155701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Thanks guys, great advice - I have a buddy coming out this week to help sort through everything, so hopefully we can get some better pics and inventory taken care of. And yes, the V8 is from the '41 Plymouth - good catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Well, lesson learned, is never store your cars outside in the humidity of Texas, and always ask the storage unit manager how water flows when it rains. Both cars were rusted to the point of no repair once we really started digging in. Ended up selling to a parts guy - hopefully their souls will live on in someone else's vehicle! Take care and thanks to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
