I'm selling my TD, and moving on to another project, maybe a MGA V8, who knows?

1953 MG/TD
This is an original TD frame and body, but is all GM muscle underneath. The car was stripped to the frame and rebuilt from the bottom up. Just too much done to the car to write it down, give me a call

Corvette 350, T5 5speed and narrowed Corvette rear with composite mono spring.
Corvair front suspension upgraded to power disc brakes using MG rack and pinion,steering column and wheel. GM rally wheels
Custom large core aluminum radiator with electric fan and engine oil cooler.
Original interior recovered, MG pedals on firewall brake and clutch units, EZ wiring harness and TPI instruments. Vintage aircraft seat-belts
New bumpers, Brooklands racing wind-screens and headlights, and much more. All nuts, bolts, brake and suspension hardware new for the project, body and frame completely dismantled for painting. Original windshield, top and side curtains come with car, but need new covers. The car has about 500 miles on it today.
Many many construction photos available,
Price is $37,500, email daveplumley@rocketmail.com or call 931-294-2415 or 931-619-5903.

Oh Dave, If I can only win the lottery tonight. I'll even buy a ticket just to try to get your car! Hoped we'd see it in Townsend this year.
