Listers,
I've decided I have too many toys and not enough time so I'm going to get 
rid of my MGA hot rod.
I love the car, but it feels like a Buick compared to my Sprite

Here are the specifics
1960 MGA
Excellent frame with no rust out / rust repair needed
tube shock rear end
Ford 2.8 V6 w/ rebuilt C3 automatic transmission
Overize GM radiator w/ trans cooler
custom wiring harness w/ extra fuses
All metal body
Inner and outer rockers, A and B posts are solid
Front and rear fenders all metal, replacement panels welded in by previous 
owner
New repro MkII grill
SAAB Shelby 8 spoke (Minilite style) wheels w/ new tires
Recent paint, but body prep left a lot to be desired so the shiny paint 
shows minor ripples and dings left by body shop. 
Looks fantastic from 10 feet

Custom interior, custom dash.
Car is extremely reliable.  I've driven it on trips from 100 to 1200 miles 
without incident
e-mail for pictures and additional info

It's a fun toy or is easily converted back to stock running gear

67 Sprite
60 MGA hot rod
