Everywhere I’ve seen mention of the event calls it a half-mile, but with the name of the event being Race 1000, I wonder if maybe the actual course is 1000 meters? That would be just over 0.6 miles, so maybe close enough? Either way, 191.5 miles per hour is staggeringly impressive from a car which was originally offered with a 54-horsepower optional engine. This is a bit quicker than a stock one.

To round out this list we have a hot little small car. Before the Smart Fortwo became the smallest new highway-capable car on U.S. roads, there was the Mini Cooper. And above that already fun hatch came the hotter supercharged Cooper S. This car is a ball of fun and thankfully older models aren’t worth a whole lot.
This one has high mileage at 196,000, but it appears to be in pretty good shape. It’s $2,500 on Facebook Marketplace in Salisbury, Missouri.
That’s it for this week! Have you purchased a car based from one of these posts? If so, I want to know.
Since this series began, I’ve watched how the pandemic has been changing nationwide car prices. Vehicles that were an easy $1,000 before are becoming $2,000 or even $3,000 cars.
It’s becoming harder to find what I’d say are insane deals without getting behind the wheel of something that’s one harsh pothole away from the scrapyard. Some gems are still out there, but they end up selling before I can even finish writing these.
Know of a weird car for sale on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist? Drop it down in the comments or in my email! If the car’s still for sale, I may feature it on a future post.
