NOW SOLD to Nils in California! Congrats on taking home car # 421!
Meet Scotty (AN5L 29291). Scotty is a 1960 Bugeye that came to us from Arizona, where this car enjoyed an engine rebuild and Ford Five-speed conversion just about 1000 miles ago. This one has been sitting for about four years, but we have brought it back to life this past week and it drives great.
Power and oil pressure are excellent. Disk brakes, wire wheels and Ford five-speed transmissions are our favorite!
The car has a nearly new five-speed conversion, roll bar, and nifty LED third brake light. Tires are aged out but we have new ones in stock, and wire wheels are quite popular. Scotty also has a single Brooklands windscreen on the driver side, so you can remove the four screws that hold the windshield to the body and strip down for hot weather mini windscreen fun! (we’ve removed the screen and left the two brooklands support stanchions in place, in front of the steering wheel… easy to fit that little windscreen with allen set screws)
This car needs some more refreshing, which we are happy to do for the new owner or you can do it yourself if you want to do some tinkering. Nothing major is needed, the hard stuff is already done. But for example, the radiator is ugly. We have good used ones, or maybe you want an aluminum radiator, depending on your home climate.
The steering hub horn push is missing. The prior owner has a dashboard button that works just fine. But we are happy to restore the horn to its original glory. Rear wheel cylinders and slave cylinder should be replaced. You have lots of choices. The value here is a freshly rebuilt 1275 mated to a great Ford five speed. And wire wheels. The floors have been restored with new sheet metal. So you have a great foundation.
The car drives great! Check out the full collection of photos by clicking “read more” below and please call if you are interested!
