More about this car
This 1974.5 MGB GT underwent a multi-year, bare-metal rotisserie restoration completed in the summer of 2025. It has been heavily modified as a Sebring-style V8 restomod, covering approximately 2,500 miles since completion. The car is finished in Aston Martin California Sage Green Metallic over a bespoke Prestige Auto Trim grey and black leather and Alcantara interior.
Power is supplied by a 4.6-liter Rover aluminum V8 built, machined, and blueprinted by HorsePower Research (HPR) with engine components supplied by D&D Fabrications. The powerplant features a Crower Level III performance camshaft, Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, a Holley HyperSpark ignition system, and premium RV8 black powder-coated headers that exit through the fender wings into a dual custom exhaust. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a BorgWarner T-5 five-speed manual transmission equipped with a McLeod Racing hydraulic throwout bearing and a complete D&D Fabrications conversion kit. This feeds into a Fast Cars Ford 9-inch rear axle with a limited-slip differential and a 3.25:1 highway-friendly gear ratio.
Additional modifications include a Fast Cars Inc. front crossmember with adjustable coilovers, a custom-engineered 3-link rear suspension setup, four-wheel disc brakes, and 17-inch black Cosmis Racing wheels. The cabin features a custom black Alcantara-wrapped dashboard with integrated Speedhut electronic telemetry gauges, a Vintage Air climate control system, spray-in LizardSkin insulation with additional floor-level heat shielding matting, a modern Advance Auto Wire electrical harness, and a hidden integrated Bluetooth sound system preserving the factory clean dash look.
This meticulously sorted MGB GT restomod is now offered with a complete, organized binder tracking every receipt, a comprehensive restoration photobook, recent Blackstone Laboratories engine oil analysis reports, and a clean Texas title.
