Was the first one supposed to be an AE86? Sometimes my computer doesn't do the things its supposed to do. Uh, as far as the price goes, I would say that $6500 for a '75 Cooper is a bit high, and the restoration that's visible doesn't seem enough to merit such a price. A rebuilt engine still isn't the same as a new engine, so 50 miles is misleading. I just recently saw a stand promoting classic minis that are brand spankin new. You can actually customize them to look pretty sick and they ran about $11000(the price on one that had some additional stuff on it), which is a considerable amount more, but it is a new car and should be much more relaible than a '75. I can't find where their card is, but I'll look for it and post it when I do. You could consider it, because they're sick looking cars and sure to get you some ladies!
