Tom, hard to say as I am not in your area - but you don't mention rust (or lack
thereof). Assuming it is in good
shape rust-wise and runs well, $2,500 seems like a decent price to me.

Subject: [Mgs] 77 MGB...for sale...fair price?
All,
Regrettably, I've come to the decision to sell my 1977MGB. I post this
to the list first to see if anyone is interested before posting it other
places. With 2 little kids, soccer games, baseball, etc, it is impossible to
keep up as several of you know. My enjoyment out of owning the MG was
tinkering with it on the weekends. I just don't have time for it right now.
Perhaps again in a few years.
I ask the lists advice on a fair price. I was
thinking somewhere around $2,500, but please let me know what you think is
fair.
I've owned the car since 1996. I bought it in Texas for $1,900 and
moved it to St. Louis Missouri in 1998 where it resides today. I don't know
the history of it before I bought it, but it has been garaged the entire time
I've owned it and driven mostly on the weekends.
It has never been restored
and I think it is fairly close to original, but I am not entirely sure. It
has overdrive that works. I just had a new fuel pump put in and a bunch of
work done on the electrical system to get it to pass safety inspection.
Through the years, I've gone through many things in the car such as:
-Fixed
overdrive (lockout switch was all that was wrong with it)
-Brakes
-Alternators
-Fuel pumps
-Rebuilt the carb (ZS)
-Starter
-New exhaust
-Clutch master and
slave
-Fixed a bunch of electrical stuff
-And a bunch of other things I can't
think of right now so I'll have to get out my records
The engine was not
rebuilt in the time that I had it. I've put less than 10k miles on it
I also
have a new top that I bought and never installed which cost about $300.
I
took a few pics and posted them here:

Please let me know what you think a fair price is or if anyone on the list is
interested in taking a look at it.
Tom
77B (for now)
