Another Ebay B -this guy wrote a book about the car

If you have some free time, read the story on this one. I believe Ebay needs to add a spell checker to their listing site.

as I quickly fixed a spelling error

or an editor.

Wow, he did write a book!

He is a top body shop employee, not a professional writer, obviously!

What a GORGEOUS car though!!!! I mean, he says it right in the auction: "It's just that no one has ever seen a more buitiful MGB in thair life.And I don't think anyone ever will.I did this to be the very best of everything."

I love the rostyles on one side, and the wires on the other. They go GREAT with the cheesy whitewalls and the pimpalicious gold rear drums. The really awesome part is the fantastic metallic paint job with a big white stripe. Speaking of stripes, the side stripes that he put on about 4 inches too low look AMAZING.

Man, I wish I could sell everything I own to buy that. What a car!! In fact, I think I would even drive it back home to Charlotte. After all, he says its a great driver, even though he also said "I have not put a full mile on this car sence I have owned it."

How much for the Maverick that is parked next to it???

car looks good. Paragraphs would help the reading.

Rostyle on one side and wires on the other?
How did he do that?

You'll be asking yourself, "hey, I saw a car just like that this morning except it had wires on it. Cool."

Tell me something; if you're going to put a body stripe on your car, would it not be a good idea to leave off the metal trim? At least you could read the "MGB" properly.

The chrome in th midle of the strip goes with the whels. one half is one thig and tha other is a difernt one.

Do you think it's a joke that his last name is Lucas?? :-)

I sure like his enthusiasm, but it is a fairly odd duck of a car, isn't it. How must it handle with wires on one side and rostyles on the other? Not sure it's an $8K car!

Ummmm..

If you read the listing, he had just gotten the wires a couple days before. Obviously he took the pictures with the wires on and included a picture of the car with the previous Rostyles on it.

Sheesh..
You were all joking, right?????
I think he did a great job, except for the stripes and chrome strip.


Paul

Or you could buy his other offering.
