Hi,
My wife and son and I were on southbound I-75 early Saturday morning and slowly caught up with the most amazingly tricked-out MGB right around Florence, KY. Behind and from a distance, the car looked like it was carrying a folded card table on its convertible rooftop, but when we got closer we realized that the car was sporting a rear wing nearly two feet off the trunklid and at least five feet wide. I'm no expert on B's, but this one appeared to have started in life as an earlier one with chrome bumpers. This wild machine, painted a maroon-red that was possibly metalflake, also had nicely done flared/widened fenders and aero treatment on the nose, and best of all, a supercharger blower poking through a cutout in the hood. V-8 or V-6 conversion by appearances. Nice wide low-profile wheels and tires, of course, and the little guy was movin' right along--we were hitting eighty in our trusty Mazda just to catch up with him to get a better look. He had Kentucky plates.
He got off at one of the exits close to the airport, but that car was one of the wildest LBC mods I've ever seen on the road. It looked like a cross between a Pro Stocker and an IMSA sportscar--and a lot more serious than the usual slammed rice burner sedans you see everywhere.
Devotees to originality would shake their heads at this car in disbelief and dismay, but it really was an impressive piece of work. My 15-year-old son is always trying to get me to drop a V-8 into my Triumph or paint flames on the side--yes, he even tried to convince me to add a snacktray wing to the back, too. He thought the custom MGB was "sweet".
Does the owner of this MG frequent the MG forum, or does anyone know the guy? I'd love to hear more about the car, and see some images.
Best regards,
