FS: 1966 Austin VTEC Mini Cooper One of a kind

I'm starting a new VTEC project so the Dragonflyer needs to find a new home to be loved an

DRIVEN LIKE IT WAS STOLEN

If you have not seen the Mini at any events here is what you are looking at.


This Mini started as a New Zealand shell with no rust. Completely restored from the ground up. MiniTec did most of the body work, engine swap and build. I did the rest.

This Mini has been fitted with Electric Widows, Keyless entry, Cruise Control, Electric Canvas Sunroof, Kenwood CD deck w/ Ipod/AUX interface, 6" Sony Explodes in custom speaker pods in the door, 6x9" Sony explodes in the rear, Sony 600 watt Amp in the boot, 8.2 gallon gas tank, Carbon Fiber fender flares, Carbon Fiber Front end, Carbon/Red Kevlar dash...

The list goes on and on. You really need to see this car to understand the work that has been put into it. The photos(as nice as they are) do not do this car justice.

I'm selling this one to build another one. The price ($32,000) is firm unless you want the A/C components removed. Minitec sells these cars with less options for 35k. The A/C works but the dryer and Condensor need to be hooked back up and recharged. The cruise control is in there and according to Minitec was working at one point but I have never seen it work. I'm sure it will work fine with some time to fiddle with it. But who really needs Cruise Control anyway.
You will be able to see more pictures on this website.

Man, I'd love to take a spin in this car... If only money were no object... (sigh). Whoever scores this will have to have the s**t-eating grin SURGICALLY removed from their face, I'm sure...

Well I had to sell my Loved New MINI to get this one so it's really just a matter of what you want more.

So far everyone I've taken for a ride loves it with horror in their eyes. Like this :impatient
