MGA MGA Deluxe/Twin Cam?

[aeronca65t]

This looks like a supreme hack on a Deluxe or Twin Cam.

The poor car. An ignominious end to what was once a very nice car.

I put a bid in on the car for parts but its already been removed.

I'm just curious as to why someone would call this morph a twin cam? I'd also be curious to see just how this thing was put together. It's probably a close race to see which one of these is the ugliest!

Pretty nasty looking. I want the suspension out of it, the body would be gone.

If those wheels are a reflection of what's underneath, I agree, that's probably the only thing of value on the car. The rest is anybody's guess. PJ

Understand thru the Twin Cam group the car was just a std MGA coupe that someone put TC wheels on. Glad I didn't spend the money.

You can't 'just put Twin Cam wheels on' without also having the Twin Cam hubs and (normally) brakes too, so there is some value there. Worth c. $3500-4000 for the suspension.

If the perpetrator of that car did NOT start with an unrestorable rolled coupe, he deserves a date with a horsewhip (why can you never lay your hands on one when you need it?) What a pile of crap! I particularly like the coupes - much more civilized tourers than the roadsters.

Okay, guys, its a cut up coupe, but probably done in the sixties sometime when you could buy a good mga for $500. and who cares what you did with it, they were a dime a dozen.

Remember seeing cars going to the dump that you would kill for now!
