This 1969 Mitsubishi Minica Super Deluxe, is a rare piece in the vintage car landscape. This specific model stands out for retaining the original features that made it famous, such as the suicide doors, the original interior in excellent condition, and the 360cc two-stroke engine, reflecting the type of compact vehicles that were popular in Japan during that period.

Designed to maximize interior space while adhering to the size restrictions of Kei cars, the Minica offered a practical solution for urban transport in Japan while maintaining a distinctive design. The model for sale reflects this philosophy, offering a well-preserved example of a significant moment in Japanese automotive history.

This particular specimen, with only 1000 miles on the clock, retains much of its originality, from the paint to the interior components, which is particularly rare for vehicles of this age. The preservation of the vehicle in such an authentic state not only increases its collectible value but also offers a direct immersion into late 60s automotive technology and design. The fact that this vehicle is still operational and features original characteristics, like the column shift manual transmission and timeless design, makes it a valuable acquisition for collectors and vintage car enthusiasts. Find it for sale at $15,000 here in Merced, CA. Thanks to Kyle for this tip!
