MG Sports Cars

One of a kind British V8. Drop in a 350 and you're ready to go!


CORVETTE 1974 MG - $800 (STARKE, FL.)
[charlotte.craigslist.org]

I don't usually comment on these creations, but that one is just plain ugly.

Ugly is an understatement.
The story gave a chuckle though.

"Had a lot of time to kill and spent 2 years working on this car"
Two years wasted.

"Sold the car to a "FRIEND" and he took the engine and transmission out and refused to finish paying for the car, this is what I got back,"
Ya, some friend!

There could be some usable parts there. Just don't let your neighbors see it.

I'd pay the $800.00 if it came with the trailer.
Probably some sort of tragedy would occur on the way home and the car would be lost.
Cheers

Corvidget? How about Corblimey !!

I was ready to buy it, then I checked and it's too long for my garage.
Curses.

I'm not much of a Corvette fan, particularly 74, but what a terrible thing to do to a Corvette frame. I'm sure something could be done to bring this thing up to the level of "Rat Rod" but for the life of me I don't know what it would be.

Before I start getting post, I don't hate Corvettes, in fact there are some very nice Corvette's out there, I'm just not attracted to them. As I brought my "Little British Car" to the dance I'll stick with her. OK, I'll fess up, I have been thinking lately that I would like to share my time with a 65 Mustang Fastback, but don't tell the GT. I could rent a garage on the other side of town so hopefully they wouldn't meet.

I was thinking "hearse."

Since the gauges are on the passenger side I wonder if part of the grand scheme is to put the glove box on the drivers side.

Perhaps he was trying to make the driver as inconspicuous as possible by making the front of the car conspicuous and placing the driver as far away from it and in as small a compartment as possible. Probably worked too, especially with the driver's window rolled up.

Nothing magical about that '74 vette frame. It was pretty basic stuff and no different from what was under any other GM car of the era except for the back axle.

This makes me feel better about the brown 78 in my garage! Could not help but notice that the wheels on the trailer match the car... think there was a sale?

If I had my Merlin engine I would buy it.

Bill, onto or on something.... houz-bout a Rover V16? Since the design proposes, "What would Captain Nemo Do", while free-basing airplane glue and LSD, as a design exersize. I suspect this could make a "car crusher puke" ? No druggie designs please. Cheers, roverman.

I suspect Captain Nemo would rename it the Nautilus and take it to the bottom of the ocean.

Since there is plenty of room in the engine bay, maybe put 2 Dodge slant sixes end to end and have a slant twelve. I have a couple of rat rod guys I am going to sic on this, you may be seeing this on the world rat tour.
Carl, I think ugly is an understatement, but I don't the word to use. I feel the creator was thinking beauty. I don't think I would have repoed it
