What an oxymoron; a MINI monster truck. As you can see for yourself, the only thing really “mini” about this strange-looking automotive creature that we found for sale on eBay is the shell and the interior of the classic 1965 MINI Cooper.
Right under the metal skin there’s a Jeep Wrangler YJ frame (built from 1987 to 1995), upgraded with a 6-inch lift kit and an assortment of other aftermarket parts, while the tall engine bay is home to a brand-new 350 cubic inch (5.7-liter V8) crate motor.
If you’re interested, the car is located in Hampton, Georgia (the state, not the nation) with the owner willing to depart his pride and joy for a round sum of $15,000 (~€11,400).
eBay Seller’s Description:
“Fully restored, one of a kind, monster mini cooper. 1965 Austin mini body with new 350 crate motor. On Jeep YJ frame with 6″ lift kit. Four wheel disk brakes, power steering, 35″ tires. All new. Mile Marker winch. Four wheel drive. Military whip antennas (cosmetic only at this point). The antennas do unscrew to allow for clearance. Always a crowd pleaser. Probably not best as daily driver. It lacks a bit of comfort due to lack of room in cock pit. Definitely not another out there and turns a lot of heads. Our personal restoration project. Always garaged. Frame off.”
