Got it for 110$**, just because it was so cute.
Looked online and that's the price of one needing bodywork. 2X gets you a good used one. Not sure where MIB (even have the rubber petcock bung - not shown) taps out.
Now I think it's just too nice to be hanging on the wall. Needs to be part of somebody's project that actually hits the road.
Until then I'll just enjoy looking at it .

** Auction house is 15 minutes away. Buddy's partner bought some chairs so he drove us in AND THEN bought me lunch to boot.

Exactly. There's a Honda part # on the box. And I found it on CMSNL. I would think it would also fit the 74 and maybe 76 but Honda does weird stuff.

Yup - '74 through '76 all same. In '77 they brought in the CJ360 (ugh-lee).

74 was my first ride. Had to move up when 3 guys in an Austin Mini passed me (@GreyGhost) going flat out at 90MPH

Wasnt me. The previous engine I had in the mini was a riot an would spin 2nd gear if you floored it. That one blew up. No idea on top speed for either engine as I may not have a speedometer. Tach is all you need for fun. 90 mph wouldnt be an issue.

A high school friend had a mini in the mid 1960's and we drove to the drags at St Thomas, getting into a spirited ETA event with a Ford Falcon. It was funny to watch the Falcon in the rear view mirror when we went through some curves. FWD rocks. RWD rolls.

He let me drive on the way home and as we were going down some side street near Bloor I started missing shifts and that according to him, meant we were out of gas. He took over the wheel and we opened the doors, easily scooting the thing along until we reached Bloor near Jane.

Once on Bloor the doors had to close so he steered while I pushed. Once we hit the downhill near the then Odeon Humber at Jane the car got rolling too fast and if I let go of the roof rail it would have meant a face plant so I jumped onto the bumper and coasted along to the gas station, just as the theatre was getting out.
