FS : 1973 VTEC mini
hi guys,
i'm sure many of you have seen my mini before, but either way it is for sale. its a 1973 austin mini that has been fully restored and built by minitec. this includes a GSr swap (b18c1) that has intake, fully exhaust with no emissions, upgraded clutch and flywheel, tilton brake and clutch set up, fully tubed front end, with molded fiberglass bonnet, fully adjustable suspension (camber, caster, and ride height), outlaw 4 piston caliper racing brakes, 7x13 wheels with Advan A032R's ( which are R compounds!!!!!! ) an all re-done interior with custom covered integra seats, and custom guage cluster with autometer phantom guages. it has A/C. Webasto electronic canvas roof. i think that is most of it. the car is a show quality mini, that is truly one of a kind. i'm pretty sure i'm the only vtec mini forsale on the east coast for sure, and if you want minitec to build you one, this one took a full year to complete. it only has had 5000 miles since the restoration/swap. which was completed last summer. the body has about 40000 on it, and the gsr motor about 80000( that has had fully timing service etc..) As far as performance goes, it will blow your mind.. the car is 1600+ lbs and makes just shy of 200 hp. i am asking $25,000. i'm located in winston-salem, NC...

hey guys,
thanks for all the compliments ... as too the question about putting power to the ground, 1st gear can be very tricky it will spin the tyres in any rpm, but second grabs very well, the car is equiped with a phantom grip lsd.. which is not a true lsd but fits into your current differential and acts as one under hard acceleration, and it's what minitec reccomends over say a quaife or sumthin strong like that. you guys wanted to know about 0-60 and what not... well i'm not a fan of doing off the line racing, but a couple weeks ago a EVO 8 taunted me at a stoplight making fun of my car.. and anyone knows that awd is sick... well long and short of it we raced and he gave it hell .. and i smoked him by the time i hit 50.... so yea its pretty awesome in any situation...
i do have a question though .. does anyone know any other good places to be advertising my mini ? ?

Killer car, I thought my '72 Inno 998 had good power/lb but yours is off the chart.
Not to mention the aestetics. Very nice.

sorry about that hartz... if you read this.. if that was your high powered miata... i'm not interested in any trade.. i'm selling the car to get a diesel truck specifically.. just to clear any confusion.. and yes dakinemini... the car can easily be driven mildly... at high way speeds its fairly loud in there but the motor gets the gas mileage and it has the longer LS 5th gear... its the size of the car that keeps me from driving it a whole lot .. and the fact its such a collector/showish kinda car too...
