BOISE, IDAHO –Snake River Classics unveils its first-ever high-performance MGB GT restoration at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale on Saturday, January 22, 2022. Merging classic styling with modern reliability, the highly anticipated MGB GT is a part of the growing “restomod” automotive trend gaining momentum worldwide.
Snake River Classics refined this iconic Pininfarina-designed MGB GT for enhanced speed, comfort, style, and control. The elegant new lines of its modified body house an all-new suspension system with significantly wider wheels and tires. Power is supplied by a GM LTG 2.0-Liter DOHC Turbo engine generating over 300HP, more than three times the original power. The interior is upgraded with new instrumentation and customized leather abounds.
“This is a car that answers the question, what if MGB never went out of production? It’s a total transformation, not a restoration – with all the nostalgia of the past, and all the exhilarating performance of today,” says Snake River Classics founder John Batterton.
ABOUT SNAKE RIVER CLASSICS:
