  If you happen to be in the market for some British classic style but still need to have a torquey V8 then this beautiful restored 1974.5 MGB GT might be for you. The car is being sold out of the Pittsburgh area with an asking price of $39,000. Under the hood sits a rebuilt 4.2 L Rover V8 connected to a Rover five-speed transmission and upgraded driveshaft. The engine runs an Edelbrock 500 cfm four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and Petronix electronic distributor. The interior has been fully restored as well. All interior pieces such as seats, shift Boot, and center console lid have been recovered in black leather. The front seats are even heated.
