Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to present this show-stopping 1958 MG MGA Fixed Head Coupe. The restoration of this 1958 MGA was in process for nearly seven years. The owner was an engineer who planned and executed the transformation. He completed it in 2016. The car has 2850 miles on it since the restoration was completed.
The car has a new Camaro 3.4L (207 CID), 180 HP, V-6 GM engine. Mallory Ignition. Custom fabricated headers and exhaust. It has a five-speed Camaro T-5 transmission coupled with an MGC rear end. MGB Suspension with Front Disc Brakes. Chrome 15" 72 spoke Dayton Wheels With Michelin Radial Tires Holly Carburetor, dual exhaust and is equipped with a Vintage Air, Gen II A/C system.
The interior is complete with new carpet and leather upholstered seats and door panels. This is a one-of-a-kind frame-off restoration done with extreme attention to detail and design.
The conversion to GM 3.4 V6 was done with very little alteration. This may be one of the finest conversions anywhere. Anyone considering an MGA Coupe should see this one to believe what it has to offer. I doubt you will find one to compare anywhere. Absolutely Beautiful condition. Drive this MGA anywhere comfortably in winter or summer. Pictures do not do this car justice.
