The MGB GT, introduced in 1965, brought a touch of grand touring sophistication to MG's popular roadster platform. Designed by Pininfarina, its elegant fastback roofline transformed the open-top MGB into a practical and stylish 2+2 coupé, offering greater luggage space and weather protection without sacrificing the MGB's characteristic nimble handling. While never intended for drag strips, the MGB GT quickly became a beloved classic, embodying the accessible British sports car spirit for a new generation of enthusiasts. This 1968 MGB GT shell, however, is far from its original touring intent. Offered as a comprehensive project, it's built around a robust 4130 tube chassis fabricated by RJ Race Cars in 1998, a testament to serious performance aspirations. The chassis, media blasted and coated, has been certified by NHRA, indicating its readiness for a life of speed. The accompanying body shell, doors, hatch, hood, and front fenders present a blank canvas for a vision that includes a Big Block Chevy engine and an automatic transmission, transforming this classic into a formidable drag machine. A significant investment in new and powder-coated parts, including triangulated wheelie bars and a tilt front-end frame, are included, still sealed in their protective packaging. This is a unique opportunity to complete a meticulously prepared, high-performance build rooted in a timeless British design.
