MGB running gear and I think a Fiberfab body from the 60s.

Its a Fiberfab Jamaican, but mid-late 60's. Most found homes on MGA or TR chassis. Doing one on an MGB is tougher because the MGB is a unit-body car... no separate frame.

In reply to 200mph:

Could be A chassis, actually I based my assumption on the plastic oil filler cap on the valve cover because I couldn't see enough other clues. I notice it did have a generator so it could be an early B engine or an A engine with some B parts.

The donor is a 60 or 61 MGA.

Love the styling of these... Wow... tons of rust. Not much there worth having except the body.

Depends on what you do with the frame. The MGA is an easy platform to modify. I went this route

Nice body styling. I'd be tempted to start from scratch with a tube frame and Miata running gear + LSX

This is a MGA based kit and it is a Jamacan!
