Got a 77B(I think, have not looked at it very hard) that needs a new home. It's in Prairieville, La. Body looks to be solid, hood and trunk lid damaged. Engine froze up and interior is ragged out. Was an A/C car. I was saving it for a V-something conversion. BTW, I also have the suspension of a 71BGT that can go with the 77 to lower it with. The suspension is still on the 71 tub. Anyone want to come and get it? Gene? Blake? Tony? or anyone else within driving range? It would be a shame to send it to the crusher when someone, just not me, could save it

Because most of the nice ones are on your side. Jack

Well, you can move it to your side, but at $3 a gallon you'd have to want it mighty bad

If I cannot find it a new home, chances are that I will have someone with a backhoe come by and bury them both in a few weeks. Got to thin my belongings

Who is it on the list that lives down in LA and has a Dad in the wrecking yard business? Jack

Gerry,

Too bad I can't get it up to Pittsburgh like I did those wire wheels years ago!

Well....I guess I will pass...but good luck with finding them homes. Hate to think of them getting crushed and coming back as Kia's.

Gerry, if Roger doesn't want it, I may take it. I'm looking for a RB basket case to convert to a trailer.

Wish I could, don't have the time to start another one...
I've seen the car.. It could be restored..

Keith and all, Right now the car is commited to Zack over in Laffeyette. If for some reason he decides he cannot come get it, I will repost the info and y'all will get another chance at it. Zack contacted me yesterday. Think he is starting his own MG salvage yard. He just god loads of stuff from a dealer in Baton Rouge a few months back, remember?

Yep, Zack is building quite a stable.....maybe in a couple of years, I'll let him have all my used stuff in a massive garage sale! hehehehe

I don't like to call it a "MG salvage yard".
More like a "Morris Garages Retirement Community".

Sorry I have been away so long! I miss you all alot, and should be back into the thick of things now that I'm fairly settled into the new job.

Tony - How has live been on your end? Hadn't heard from you in forever!
