If someone had time to take a quick look and assess rust (lister says none) and underhood issues, it would be really cool. I was supposed to fly through here yesterday but got all screwed up with the Denver blizzard.

did ya see the feedback!? -2! yikes!!!

okay - 215 is my area code but it's a big area, and i'm not exactly in Philly but if none of the guys closer cal pull it off, i'll do what i can. can't be today, tomorrow morning is possible.

i will need a physical street address. not an "across from" not an intersection, not a "you can't miss it." GPS navigation will get me to an address...

i owned an MGB for a brief time - it was newer and cleaner than that one...

no title in hand would scare me, especially with this person's feedback. why is it for sale *now* if it's so easy to replace the title?

i'll PM my phone number and watch this thread ...

It's not a huge issue, I thought someone might know the car or its location. I don't know the exact location. I spoke to the guy, but he either does not know very much, or he is trying to gloss over what the car is. He did mention his reserve, so I'll keep an eye on it.

Thanks.

Hi, just saw this. I can't believe it but I think I may have actually seen this car at another location in the Philly area a couple years ago....610 area code which is not too far away. If its the same car, it needed more than a little to get it into top shape and it was not running. It looks alot like the car I saw but I guess I could be wrong. If its not, I still agree with Rich.

hmmm......Its his car but he can't or hasn't bothered to turn the key to see if it runs....and he has 2 out of 3 bad ebay transactions? If title is so easy to pull, why hasn't he done it? Seems to me it would be easier to sell the car with it. Car does seem to be getting some bids though.

Sorry I can't do it this week(5 tax returns to finish by Friday ) 215 area code is big. It could be anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour from me.

it says "bid with confidence" something about the ad doesn't exude confidence with me though...

maybe it's the -2 feedback... maybe it's this pic, but at least the price seems reasonable...:

I'm thinking the rusty junk he bought, but never paid for, may have something to do with this car... the item # was too old to see..
