1965 Chrysler Hillman Super Minx

1965 Hillman Super Minx - a NZ new sedan that's ready for someone who wants to complete a "Restomod" project - a classic vehicle with modern running gear .

If you're into classic cars, this could be a worthwhile project for you . It's got the bones of a good car, it just needs someone with the time and skills to get it sorted. This car needs work - it's not a car you can jump in and drive daily without putting in some effort first; once the car is finished it will need to be "certified" to get it back on the road . However, that's part of the appeal if you're after a classic British sedan from the mid-60s. The Hillman Super Minx has a bit of a following among enthusiasts, and finding a solid example like this car is becoming increasingly rare.
