Dustin, my son, and I are two very happy LBC owners at this point. Oh
yeah, I forgot to tell you... I paid One thousand, Two hundred and Fifty
dollars. Yep, you read correctly, $1250.00 American dollars.. For once
in my life "I" got the good deal. >>

That sounds like a good deal. Wax it quick and sell it! Then you can buy a
really nice MGA.
I am one of the few around who actually likes the look of the wedge TRs, but
only the roadster. The coupe doesn't cut it. I would prefer a late model
TR7, which has the 5 speed tranny and is easier to work on than the V8. A
good running TR8 is definitely worth more though.
Best of luck with it. BTW, it has a manual trans doesn't it? I certainly
wouldn't want an automatic.
