And in contrast to many sellers, described in minute albeit slightly hyperbolic, detail.

That's their way of saying it's a 64 car riding atop a 1972 title. Best of both worlds!


This "banjo" axle (as a '64 would have, instead of Salisbury axle, a la '72) is probably not up to the task of "Ground Pounding".

This one made me chuckle:

Obviously Moss should update the description in their catalog - and raise their price.

It's a nice car, but it deserves a proper "How It Was Done" with better photos of the important details and far less B.S.

I read this one on BAT yesterday... Couldn't get through the over the top rant about the car in the eBay listing.  Nice car, but I'd take Kelly's over this one any day!

Thanks Rob, Known Quality vs the "Pig in poke".  not putting the car down, just never saw or talked to anyone who has experienced this car.  Looks good, but Curtis noted the Dif. may not be adequate to handle the claimed engine output.
SAFETY FASTER!

Gotta quit driving over 'coons and possums!

..An annual Winter maintenance item on my list is to get under the car and 'renew' anything that has deteriorated over the driving season - grease, oil , sand,   Any readers that attended the Bronte Brit Car show last September, know the fine sandy mess that adhered to our cars.

Very odd VIN number.  Not MGB of any year.

Well, whatever its merits, it sold for a respectable $18k.
Perhaps its substantially stock appearance helped. Or maybe the BAT exposure?
Whatever, a pretty good price.
