Vehicle Description
Crown Concepts is happy to welcome this very unique 1978 MG MGB to
our inventory. The MGB had many changes over the years starting
with the 1975 model year having polyurethane bumpers that added 5
inches to the car. During that same year MG lifted the car 1.5
inches to meet American bumper regulations. In 1976 larger sway
bars were installed to help with the 1.5 inch lift. The MGB
normally came with 1798cc 4 cylinder and that is where the
similarities end with this MGB.
Lift up the hood and you will find a massive 5.0 liter Mustang V-8.
This engine was used in the Mustangs from 1979-1993 and it is
paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. To support the power
that this engine produces there is a Mustang front end under it to
help you keep control of all this power. The 5.0 is just about the
same weight as the 4 cylinder that came with the car due to the old
engine being made of cast iron.
The interior has been completely replaced with tan leather. The fit
and finish is perfect and it goes really well with the black dash.
Within the new dash you will find new gauges that are easy to read
and they go well with the original switch gear. The new and custom
hard top keeps you out of the sun if you want it and fits really
well. There is also a soft top if you want that true convertible
feeling.
Overall this is a very unique car that is a one of a kind build.
This car combines the charm of a British roadster with the power of
an American muscle car. It is a fun to drive and something that
will turn heads when people hear the roar of that 5.0 under the
hood. Please call us today at 1-520-900-7586 or stop by our
