Just Bought a 1973 MGB

Picking it up tomorrow around 6pm.
VIN Door plate = DEC 1973
Owner spun a knock off and parked it in 1992.
Tried to turn the motor by hand. Nope.
Owner's son painted the car twice since he owned it.
From what I could tell, the body is in real good shape.
There's a metal toggle switch mounted in the switch on
the console. Hoping it has an O/D under there.
All tires flat. So I can't get under it to look.
I don't have the time for a full restore, so I'm probably
going to part it out.
I'll post some pics as soon as I get it home and blow all
the leaves and acorns out of it. (Chipmunks, Mice, Etc.)
I sold 5 1960's era HotWheels on Ebay two weeks ago.
Made more money off of them, than what I paid for 63 B.
Good for me, but kinda sad that you can get more money for
a HotWheel than you can for a REAL car.

Build date of December '73 would make it a '74 (Model Year).

Congrats! The 73-74 models are among my favorite MGs, with the classic style grille, nice dash with fresh air vents and chrome bumpers. Please post some photos.

Great choice !, I'm sure you'll enjoy it ( and this board )

Have fun, summer is coming !! ( I hope ... )

what color is it?

Cool!
I remember the first time I looked at mine, seeing an aftermarket switch in the dash and crossing my fingers as I peeked underneath...
Unfortunately for me it was just a replacement for a burned-up fan switch...
Oh well.
Hope you're luckier!!

If the body is in good shape, don't part it out. There are plenty of rusty MGs for that.
