Who among us hasn't wondered what it's like to get behind the wheel
of a light, nimble ride that's propelled by a robust engine capable
of knocking you back in your seat when you step into the
accelerator? Or maybe you're among the fortunate few who have had
that experience and can't wait to repeat it. Wonder or wait no
longer. This 1977 MG MGB Restomod V8 is decked out in eye-catching,
deep burgundy paint that was only recently applied beneath a
radiant clearcoat, along with an assembly of chrome brightwork
that's in clean condition. It wears a pair of side pipes and a
functional hood scoop to give it a very cool, performance-centric
appearance, and this compact ride is no mere poser. It's powered by
an ultra-strong V8 engine that gives it top-tier capabilities.
Despite its relatively small stature, the MGB offers a surprising
amount of shoulder and leg room inside, allowing it to accommodate
full-size passengers without inducing claustrophobia. This affords
the bucket seats, covered in unblemished tan vinyl, with a level of
welcome adjustability. Everything inside the doors looks fresh. Not
only do the seats show no perceptible wear, but the carpeting is
well-fitted, and the dash area really presents nicely, with a set
of digital gauges in the instrument cluster and a dash pad across
the top that is free from any cracking or warpage. A JVC AM/FM/CD
stereo stands by at the center of the dash, ready to supply your
own personal soundtrack for your journeys.
Beneath the hood lurks a 347-cubic-inch V8, an ultra-potent
rendition of Ford's universally respected 302 small block that's
been a hugely popular powerplant choice among performance
enthusiasts for decades. That's for good reason. The torque this
engine packs is undeniable, creating a veritable thrill ride on
wheels. Outfitted with a Competition Cam, fed by Holley Sniper
electronic fuel injection and pairing with a four-speed automatic
overdrive transmission that won't leave you dreading stop and go
traffic, the stroked V8 is in fine form, starting up on cue, idling
smoothly and offering every bit of the exhilarating acceleration
you'd expect from it. A polished air cleaner and valve covers dress
things up inside the compartment, while a set of long tube headers
lead out to the side pipes that give this MG its standout
appearance while minimizing backpressure.
