1966 Mini Classic Mini

Vehicle Details

More pictures to follow. First 7 day auction is for interest. Reserve is at 50 k Car is reliable, not everything is pretty, but has never let me down.Where to begin….Original Cooper S shipped in to Compton California in 1966. Clean title, currently registered, and fully functional for daily driving. JDM 97 spec B 18 C with 330 injectors and tuned. Estimated HP is 225 Yes..All Wheel Drive Air conditioning. Has cruise control but currently disabled. Keyless entry with remote power door locks. Alarm Wilwood brakes Full 6 point cage with door bars. Custom fuel tank Push button start Parrot Bluetooth radio Remote located radiator Ppg water borne paint. Still looks new. Always garage kept. Sliding sun roof. I bought this car about 12 years ago as a rolling chassis. No motor and no transmission. Had all original glass and had body work done that had sat unfinished for too long so I stripped it to bare metal and refinished everything on a rotisserie. Has a minitech front subframe and a Miata rear subframe that was cut and narrowed by 9 inches. All work except for painting I have done my self. Roll cage included. Transmission is from a Honda CRV and I machined a 5 th gear from an accord to give it an over drive for highway driving. These are just the basics for now and I will be adding more as I go. The rear axles interfere with the exhaust a bit so the exhaust portion over the axle might need to be reworked. Has a remote water pump that is in a separate thermostat. PLX o 2 sensor that gives a readout over Bluetooth. Car was built for daily driving with occasional road coarse track driving, not drag racing. It's been to Laguna Seca one time. The car was still pulling at 110 mph in the finish straight. That was before AWD and I had to come out of turn 11 very gingerly. With the AWD, 120 mph wouldn't be out of the question. I pulled away from a standard 911 Porsche on the straight. Unfortunately and this was devastating, I have the original black plates for the car that match the original dmv pink slip. They are beat up but they can be restored. I'm showing this car as is with nothing reworked. I just want to be upfront about everything and not hide anything. If you bid, win, show up, and there is something extremely different from what I have shown then I will not hold you to the final payment but you will lose the deposit.

If you buy it sight unseen I will hold you to the contractual agreement of the auction. If you are international then you must arrange for the car to be picked up and pay for all associated costa. This is a used and custom car and I implore you to come see it in person before you bid.

24 picture limit by e Bay is not enough to show everything about this car. For every 1 hour of labor I have 2 hours of research and planning. There is no other mini out there like this. Not even the minitec guys have done something like this.
