Used 1961 MG MGA project car Engine/tranny rebuilt, lots of new parts for sale in Minneapolis, MN

Vehicle Description

I am selling a 1961 MGA 1600 car that is a stalled restoration. This car was a running driving car that came out of Florida prior to going to the body shop. The owner did not have the funds to go finish the restoration due to a job loss and I acquired the car with the idea of finishing it but other projects took priority over the MGA and it was put in storage. Most of the heavy work is completed and the body is prepped for a paint job and needs to be painted and the car reassembled back together.
The engine and tranny are rebuilt and are installed back in the car. The seats are redone in original Red color and the original body color was Black and it was going to be painted the same color but the car is in primer now but has some dust and dirt accumulated due to storage. The original fenders, both front and back are there and are in good shape but may need some minor work in the dog leg area. photos of the 4 fenders will be posted later along with some updated photos of the car. The 2 doors and the trunk stil have the original Black paint on them. Bumpers and other chrome pieces are also with the car and the windshield is in good condition without damage. The original wood floors are solid and the trunk floor is in excellent rust free condition as you can see in the photos.

The car comes with some new parts and I am going to provide a list later after i check what is available. This is a low milage wire wheel car that has a very straight rust free body since it originally came out of Florida. I now have a clear Mn title for the car. The engine and tranny rebuild and redoing the interior cost like $ 6000 a few years ago so you are getting the rest of the car for less than $ 4000.

I am willing to part the car out if I get buyers for the major components like the engine tranny and the seats and body parts. In todays dollars the work that has been done will cost twice as much than what i have stated earlier.
