This 1973 MGB V8 convertible was formerly owned in Joshua Tree, California, though registered in North Carolina. One of several cool cars owned by a since-passed dragster racer, this fun weekend driver / daily driver '73 MG V8 has been kept nice and dry throughout its life and shows no rust and not a whole lot of wear either.
Some of the gauges don't work, the gas shows 1/4 tank even when it's empty, there are a couple of tears in the roof, 3rd and 4th gear grind when the car is cold and there's a switch behind the driver's seat you have to turn on in order to turn the car on...it's for the fuel pump and it keeps the battery from dying if you are going through long stretches without driving it. The tires are old and have deep tread but I'd replace them anyway.
Now, the positives: It's traffic-stopping gorgeous even amid far more expensive cars. It drives fantastically well and could easily be your next daily driver. Recently serviced with coolant flush, LOF, brake flush etc. There's literally no car on the market for this money that matches the thrills, the joy and the conversations you strike up pretty much every single place you go. Good looking in photographs, great looking in person. Sharp paint, laser-straight body, nice interior, relentlessly powerful motor.

Great car. A Ford swap in a chrome bumper car isn't as easy as the later rubber bumper ones. This one looks to be done right. Just have to point out that the top has two tears from being put down without unsnapping it from the rear deck.

hey joe, i watched a video you made 7 years ago about finding the right deal for a honda, however the challenge for me is that i carry no history of credit since im 20 years young. i have an older car with a check engine light on so i made a decision that i don’t want an expensive car but i do want a newer one so that i can be comfortable and so i don’t have to drive in fear of sketchy older ones. im from california. can you help?

You'd think the V8 is much heavier but it's not such a big deal. Those old 4 bangers were heavy. All that being said, if you are converting a very slow car to a very fast car, you want to make lots of changes to lots of things

If you look past the engine this car needs some serious money spent on it, half the controls do not work. No power steering, even in the UK we retro fit power steering to MG's. In my opinion the value in this car is what the engine is worth. The body and pipes are very 1970's. All subjective, no idea what they sold this for, however if they got over $7000.00 they did well.

Totally disagree, it's evident you either don't live in the USA or have no idea what we like as MG enthusiasts. I'd love to see what custom car you have built and can brag about. Right now all I see is a hater being a douche

crappy brit car with an even crappier engine in it, (carb engines are a pain in the ass to tune right, you have to be an old skool tuner to even mess with those jets and junk) would not even pay 4000 dollars for this car on a good day, also laughing when the wipers stop working mid-video as hes talking about how they still work. car is not good at all. not valuable to collectors and not a good daily driver.

It isn't hard to tune a carburetor if ya know what you're doing. Kinda like setting the timing by ear. You must be young, and don't know much. You pretty much said that with your comment.

It means you don’t know anything about cars. Cars did fine for decades on carbs before FI came of age. So all carbureted cars are crap? Hemi cudas, LT1 Corvettes, original Ferrari GTO and 512 Boxers? Nothing wrong with new stuff but nothing wrong with older tech. I don’t care for some of the body treatment on this car but I like the swap
