"This is an original MI Sportster, which originated from the 1951 Mechanix Illustrated November issue. This car was built according the MI plans and is all hand built during the 1950s. This car was started in 1952 by the original owner and completed 3 years later. This article boasted plans for the builder to create a 100MPH roadster for less than $500!!!! By taking parts from the 1930s & 1940s cars the builder could build one fast sportster!! Car is in great shape for its year and being hand built. Has an amazing running flathead Ford V8!!

This car was handmade and is certainly a conversation piece. This cars' original owner built the car over 3 years building each part by hand thus it shows it. I bought it a while back from the 3rd owner who got it back up on the road and running.
I am selling the car due to the fact I have only drove it 2 times and haven't since last year. Due to health issues and costs, I need to sell this wonderful piece of history. Car runs and drives great. I put a newer battery in it and it gets started and ran once a month. Car is in a heated and air conditioned storage. Has new windshield that was made for the car that just needs to be installed."
Who knows what such a thing is worth and the beauty of the design is in the eye of the beholder but what a cool car.
