Why thank you sir, I am sure I speak for us all when I say I can think of no higher compliment ;-)

The Mini was only $2500 and was complete.

Right now I've got my Craigslist bot looking within 500 miles. I've got a short list of keywords programmed into it; all the cool cars on my short list and stalled project or restoration started.

Never know what will pop up.

But consider this:

$2,500 of 1959 dollars would be worth: $20,161.29 in 2014

$2,500 of 2014 dollars would be worth $310.00 in 1959. :mrgreen:

That's in your back yard.

I'm going to have to hold off on the Mini search until I get the Porsche sorted out. Maybe this time next year...

Almost literally. That's why I want someone else to buy it before I call the guy and make a trip over with the trailer.

He also has a Bugeye listed.
