I don't recognize the badge on the hood because Mk IIs were never imported into the USA, but I do know that the grille looks like it belongs on a Morris Cooper, not Austin, and there's a bit too much negative camber on the front wheels.

The colour split in this badge is correct for Austin Cooper S - Morris was fully silver background. Agree would have had over-riders originally and Mk2s were never officially imported to US, however they were sold in CDN which took Minis until about 1974.
