Vicenc,
As you know I live in Stafford Va – very close to where you lived and although I like it here I am going south at some point again – just cannot cope with the winters. Family here for awhile so we stay for the short term.Most likely I will end up in Texas or Florida – Louisiana is off my list – lived in Shreveport for 3 plus years and it is… -

I keep my LR in a storage garage about a mile away, and go at least once every week just to check things and start it up. If it’s warm enough ;30+, I’ll take it out for a short one or two mile trip. Can’t wait for May! As to living in S. Cal, I have family there and been there many, many times. I agree with the traffic, air,water, and other…[Read more]

I grew up in Anaheim, lived there and in San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, Oceanside, Del Mar housing in Camp Pendleton and San Diego. Love California, miss In-N-Out Burgers like I can’t even explain and I get nostalgic for the old OC every now and then. The problem is that there are just too many people that want to live there. When the Co…[Read more]

Those are just minor blemishes, after 2 tours in Vietnam, nothing to keep you awake at night.

SoCal is beautiful and it would be great if not for the traffic, pollution, taxes, earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides and illegal aliens. It’s a great place to visit if someone else drives in their car, but after my SUV was caught, and nearly burned up, in the wildfire near San Bernardino along I-15 last year … I’ll stick with Vegas. Two months…[Read more]

BooHoo,
Another 90+ degree day here in Southern CA, a trip in Rosebud to the mountains, with my girlfriend’s hair flying in the breeze. Maybe, just maybe you should consider Southern California. I came here in December of 1965, Uncle Sam decided this young Marine should see paradise before going to Vietnam. It was December and the natives we… -

I have always been fond of saying that no one hates winter like a man with a motorcycle in his garage. I’ve changed that statement to “a motorcycle or a TDr” but either way it’s the same. I can’t wait to get back way below the Mason-Dixon where winter won’t be such an issue anymore.

I can relate. Mine sat with a car cover and tarps over it for almost a year, waiting on my garage build.

Think that many in the northern climes suffer from separation anxiety in the winter when the TDR is in hibernation. We look with envy at our brothers in the south who get to use their TDRs all 12 months of the year. Mine is waiting for install of front disk brakes, new walnut dash, new vinyl and carpet. Once temp gets above 0 degrees C will…[Read more]

Been too cold to spend much time in the garage, without running the smelly kerosene heater. As long as daytime temps are in the 40s, it can be comfortable since it’s insulated to R-16, but those temps won’t return until mid-week. So, I have continued a bit of decorating, in short bursts. First a cheap 3×5′ MG flag from eBay.
Add an original,…[Read more]

10 hours out for me, so I don’t think I’ll be making this run. Have fun, boys. Post lots of pics and brag when you’re done.

Roy’s in the ball park. I’d go on the lower end, maybe $4500. The market for these cars is thin. I like the seats. They look comfy.
As Roy said, the condition of the top, rubber, gel coat and floor pan are all pretty key. To his list I’ll add the tins. Looks like the full tin set is absent from your engine. That’s not a deal breaker but the car’s… -

Thanks guys. Sorry about the confusion, I have been tasked to research and try to sell this car for my father-in-law who unfortunatley is very sick and doesn’t know a whole lot about it either. He bought it a few years back from a widower who’s husband had a car collection to help her out. It is not my car and I know nothing about these kits other…[Read more]

John Simion replied to the topic New Member- MIGI questions in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 7 months ago
First of all, your post is confusing. You are asking about the price “if we were to sell it,” and you referred twice to “what we have.” Are you thinking about buying this, or do you already own it and you want to sell it? If you already have it, why don’t you know anything about your own car? Did you inherit? Because otherwise it makes no s…[Read more]

Looks like a nice replica. To really get the best price (or even most accurate answer to your “what’s it worth” question), you should offer more photos.
Interior, engine. Damage, cracking of gel coat? Does everything work? Rust??? Condition of the floor pans?Mileage on the odometer of a 45 yo car means practically nothing to me. (If the or…[Read more] - Load More
