Seconded. Definitely a B-GT; probably somewhere between '66 and '70, but I'm no expert.

I want to know what the orange one with the reverse hood next to it is, though.

It doesn't look too banged up (from the limited pics), but they're not so expensive that you should skip looking into what a basic runner would cost before you have to buy a new everything to put this one together.

Doesn't appear be a '74 as it looks like it had chrome bumpers.

Didn't the rubber bumper start in 75? With some labeled as 74 1/2? I know it's that way with the roadsters (MGB) and Midget, I might have switched to RB different.

Rubber bumpers came out in late 1974, and since things were more relaxed regarding models year back then there are rubber bumper B's that are 74 models. If you recall, earlier 74's kept the chrome bumper bar but had huge rubber overriders which were called "Sabrina's" after a well endowed British actress.

It's a shame that car ended up in a you-pull, particularly in California where they don't rust (as much). I have seen people restore much worse. At least it looks pretty well picked over so hopefully its parts are going to help save other B's.
