Bel Air off to a new home

April 26, 2014 LS Stuff, Past Projects

[nggallery id=94]

1954 MGTF 1500. This is a beautiful car and though it is now a TF 1500 it is not numbers matching car. The car has a Moss Motors 5 speed conversion with very low miles since the install. The paint and body look very nice, the seats and dash are in great condition, new clutch, new top, new carpet, new side curtains and full cockpit cover still in the box, new brakes and drums, rebuilt SU carbs. The car runs and drives great and is ready for summer cruising at only $32,000. Curt 615-669-4438

This is a very recent restoration, the body was stripped to bare metal and the car had very little rust. The front floor pans and spare tire wheel well was replace before being repainted in a great looking two tone scheme. The interior to include the head liner and carpet is band new and is covered with a period correct look. This car has been updated to modern technology and should be quite fuel efficient and comfortable to drive any distance. We only have 30 miles on the car sine the restoration completion.
