...Wanting to buy a restored MGB with overdrive that drives well and looks good, including the engine bay. Like chrome bumper better than rubber, but that's not a deal breaker.
Right now my wife is afraid to ride in the 60 Bugeye. So, I'm looking a B's for my own enjoyment and secondarly, hers.
(Good formula for a 37 year marriage). Thanks!

Whatever Forum member bob67bgt asks for it! :wink:

Meaning, *if* Bob has a CB car currently *and* decides to offer it for sale, you can be sure it's worth the money.

From "outside" sellers it can be all over the board.
 
I currently have 3 chrome bumper B's ready to go. Black 67, Midnight blue 72 O/D, and a 69 Primrose yellow O/D car. These are not your normal RESTORED cars! Most sellers claim a fresh coat of paint and new tires is restored! Anything done fairtly recent and done to a high standard should start in the 14's and go up from there depending on year and options. Wires, chrome wires, leather,overdrive....ETC. Heck i do not even like to call my cars restored. I usually vary from original a little and real restored is as it came from the factory or better! I also have a 73 comming down the pipes that will be a cool driver. I have rebuild pics on another post. If you do not really want a restored car then a nice driver can run from 6-12. Again depending on year and condition. There are probably some deals out there right now on very nice drivers. I hope this answers your questions! Bob
 
There are drivers...& then there are BOB's CARS!! If his price is within your budget (or even a small stretch) go with one of his - sight unseen even!


Hmmmmm, wonder if Bob is ready to take on customers' cars for 'Boboration'?
