1968 MGC
-
I bought my MGC from a UPS delivery guy who saw me
working on my 1973 MGB in my garage back in 1990. His car had been sitting
in a garage in Santa Ana for 12 years, and I was excited at the prospect
until he mentioned that the car was an automatic. I went to see the car
and although it looked awful, I decided that the price was right. No
rust, no damage ever, a factory hardtop, and chrome wire wheels. The
original Mineral Blue had been painted over with a "60's" orange
with gray primer spots and blue showing through. On top of this mess
were dirt and mouse droppings. My wife was not impressed! My son and
I got the thing running, had it painted and redid the interior with the
Moss leather kit and a new dash. I eventually had to have the engine
rebuilt a couple of years ago and it now runs great. It gets a lot of
comments and everyone seems like how it looks.
