Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to present this Fast and Furious 1959 Morris Minor 1000! Anyone familiar with British automotive history knows the Morris was a staple of affordable motoring in the UK and it's former colonies. With over 1.5 million sold, the Minor was a sales success thanks to being compact practical and offering good value. No one would imagine a spend thrift's car as a hot rod, but that's what this Morris Minors' owner did. He saw the light compact body and rwd chassis and thought "I bet that'll make a for a fast ride". So he set off to make the Frankenstein monster of Frankenstein monsters! first the itty bitty 948cc 4 banger was tossed in the trash and a tuned, modern Mitsubishi 4G63, turbo engine from a 2008 EVO 8 was stuffed between the fenders. The 400hp hp is harnessed by 5 speed manual from a 3rd Gen RX7, that sends power to a 9" Ford axle with 3.73 gears! Under the body a 85 Datsun 750 mini-truck chassis serves provides the chassis while the suspension was fortified with a Mustang II front end and coil-overs shocks at all four corners. Disk brakes yank this thing to a stop front and rear. Staggered Chip Foose wheels wrapped in sticky rubber keep this Turbo powered go-kart sunny side up, and cold AC, racing seats, and power windows ensure you're safe and comfy during the ride. This 1959 Morris is a riot! You definitely won't see yourself coming or going with this ride. Make this red rocket yours today!
