That's kind of interesting...
Someone did a pretty nice job of doing something to something but I'm not really sure what that something is.....

Turk,
Obviously you're a complete noob if you can't see that the tail lights are from a 65' COB series instead of the proper 66' CSX series. Also, it appears that the builder used the wrong wheel offset and anyone can see that the car sits .005 too high. Some people just don't know their cars. Sheesh!!

Ya know, if he just puts a giant wing on the back he could sell it to a ricer and double his asking price.

Nope. Can't sell it to the ricer crowd. Motor's too big. Needs to be a turbo'd 4 cylinder with a "Fart Pipe" to make it sound like a coffee can filled with a bunch of pissed off bees.

Okay, just unplug every other cylinder and take a drill to the exhaust and it'll be set to go!

I must be the noob. It's nothing like a Cobra, but I've seen a lot of cars I like less. I used to have an MG many years ago. In retrospect, it would have been more fun with a V8. Shifter has got to go, but interesting concept.

If it had a rear-mounted VW flat four I might be interested...

That MG frame is going to twist like a wet noodle and then the rear end will blow as soon he stands on it. Been there, done that.

You guys all have short memories. People built 289 Ford powered TR-4's, and 283 Chevy powered Healy's and kicked serious butt with them. (Cross Bay Blvd., Queens, NY, early '60's)) And there's a white 351W powered TR-6 still doing it in the DC burbs today.
The builder made two mistakes. First he grafted an ersatz Cobra nose onto a perfectly good MG. Second, he blasphemously called it a Cobra instead of what it really is, an MGV8. Who does he think he's fooling? But you're right, some ricer in So. Amboy will buy it, bolt the requisite purple taillights to the lower rear shock mounts, gut the sidepipes into straight pipes, and be the neighborhood Mr. Cool with it.
If the underpinnings, driveline, cooling, etc., are crafted well, he should easily get his $10K for it. We've all seen some halfheartedly thrown together Cobras looking a lot worse, for a lot more money.

T. P. If I remember correctly, "TURK" The Great coined that term several months ago. I try to use it every chance I get. It's a good one.
