70s-style 1960 hot rod sleeper Bugeye for sale!

NOW SOLD to Sean here in CT! Congrats on taking home car # 391!

If you are looking for a hot-rodded Bugeye, check this one out! “Lilly” (AN5L 49238) is a well-patinaed 1960 Bugeye with some souped-up goodies under the hood!

Lilly was built by a very skilled restorer, who had a very clear vision of the best blend of fast, original, patina, and fun. The result is a car that feels like that Bugeye you saw sometime in the ’70s, when it was the ’70s. In other words, it looks and feels like a Bugeye time capsule, one you might have designed in high school on your notebook during class, or built with your dad, or cobbled together from hot rod parts you accumulated… the car has the look and feel of a great beachside parking lot car that got your attention back in 1974.

If you like this sort of thing, this is a very attractive car, because it has a worked-over 1275 engine, freshly rebuilt and ported, with larger carbs and a hotter cam. It roars, courtesy of an XKE muffler. And it growls, courtesy of the more aggressive cam.

The tires are really cool Pirelli Cintauro CN 36s, the interior is nice, and this car is fun. The black interior with red exterior is a common color combo on Bugeyes, and this one wears both well. A blacked-out shift tower, custom shortened shifter, and locking choke add to the aesthetic. It’s a perfect blend of patina and performance!
