Under $8k for a running electric Moke sounds like a deal.
If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

@rottenmulemeat I am not sure if this is appropriate but would it be possible to get a PDF copy of the receipt that you found? I would like a copy as my Mini is an S and it is just fun info to have.
Thank you in advance.

wolfman, no panels ever replaced on the 67 Moke and none need replacing, cleanest used un-restored Moke I've seen.
One re-spray during the 50 yrs. It has been used, many scratches on the body, and surface rust under the drivers floor.

$2,844 in 1965 is approximately $21,700 in today's money, adjusted for inflation.
Add about $10,000 worth of regulation required crash protection & emission reduction, and also the necessary "life style" upgrades (power seats, fancier controls, etc. etc.), plus some rust protection(!) and that price starts to be right around what a BMW Mini costs today!
Awesome that you've still got the motor.

I found the original sales receipt of 1965 Mini Cooper 1275 S, dated Dec. 11 1964 from:
Falvey Imported Cars
22600 Woodward Ave.
Detroit Michigan
Base price 2,465.00
Heater 55.00
Extra gas tank 48.00
Wheel Rims 11.00
Oil Cooler 40.00
Anti-freeze 2.55
Side view mirror 6.00
2 Shoulder belts 60.00
Tax 109.26
Title 3.00
Total $ 2,843.81
Car is long gone, rusted away in 1970, Michigan winter salted roads did a job on it.
I saved the motor and just had Mini Mania do a complete rebuild including the transmission.
