Even without the engine and trans, this is an incredible bargain. If anyone buys it, I have spare A series engines

Glad it is far away as I would have a hard time not purchasing.

If I were still in Virginia I'd buy that and start looking for a rotary.

I'd like to talk about big blue for $100, Alex.   Is the red and MGA?

Close enough to get it but won't. Having something that rusty in my garage would make me suicidal.

In reply to 914Driver :

The red car definitely looks to be a MGA

You would definitely want to update your tetanus shot.

I have one already and am not on the market for another, that deal appears to be cheaper than just the bonnet would sell for.   Its hard to tell how rusty that is. The interior shot is all blurry, but appears to show some cutting by the trans tunnel, that is fairly repairable (the trans tunnel was cut out of mine and I cut one out of another car and welded it in).  most of the sheetmetal is available for these.  a few areas to check, but worth looking at for someone interested.   

Parts arent all the difficult, check Moss motors (and if you are going to buy, go to https://www.lbcarco.com/ and get the same stuff from the same place a good percentage cheaper) and bugeyeguy.com, as well british parts northwest and winners circle (spridget.com).

 

Also used parts, I have a spare whole 1275 drivetrain, (engine trans rear - not for sale) that I got for $250 via craigslist 

 

That all said, the no title thing makes it more difficult 

 

Here is something for anyone on the fence thinking motor swap.
