Asking $22,500 but I'm selling to get a classic Mini. So ONLY CLASSIC MINI TRADES are possible. Preferably a clean highway cruiser and at least 1275 cc engine or VTEC. 1975 or older. MK 1 models preferred.
Something that looks along the lines of this:https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7187/13768089474_58a58ce5a1_o.jpg

These cars are rare in the US and popular in the UK. This particular Cortina was built by a well known Euro Ford builder in Southern California and can be driven on the street or the track. It cruises on the freeway at 65-70 easily and is very fun around corners and straightaways with the turbo currently set at 7 psi pushing a bit over 200 hp. There is a little bit of damage to the rear end (dents), but nothing too serious. I am looking at getting it straightened out, but will add to the price.
Thanks for looking!
