MG MGA - Twin Cam for 13000? Traverse City Michigan

Strolling around the internet with nothing to do, and here is on Craigslist Twin Cam for $13000???? Good luck if you want it. Hope it's real.

Already sent my money by Western Union, he's away in Nigeria on business at the moment so no chance of you other guys getting a look in!

Seriously though, a twin cam for $13000, even in that rotten and messed about condition, has to go pretty quick.
Neil McGurk

The owner is a member of the Twin Cam Group website. He has been a member for 6 months and has made several postings to the website. Other than that I do not know any details of his background.

"I have the original twin cam engine. It is been completly disassembled for a thorough , proper rebuild ( most work has been done already)".

DANGER, Will Robinson! DANGER!

That twin cam engine looks real ripe for restoration.. It has never seen any cleaning at all.. I guess the work was in removing it.Proper rebuilding is in the mind of the beholder.
WATCH OUT !!!!!!!!

I have a friend vacationing near there and he is going to try to check it out tomorrow.

This same car is also on the Twin Cam forum site in the photos section. The poster is refering to the Olthoff car.I can just see the robot waving his 'arms' now.

Well, if someone gets it, let me know. I would be happy to find out that I helped keep it from being parted out.

"MK II" grill, dash, and front signal lamps with 1500 tail lights? Interesting combination!

Fair price for a starter kit. Much rather have an engine no one has taken apart yet (photos are the 'before' state unless by apart he just means 'out').

$13K + 25K restoration +38K or perhaps just a little under what the car would bring these days restored.
