This is a 1959 Bugeye kit called “Kit.”
Kit had a massive amount of energy invested to date to create a painted and restored tub. There is more to do, but if you were thinking of doing a Bugeye Restoration, this is a fantastic way to start because a ton of the hard work is already done.
The underside is completely restored, new floors are such a nice foundation with which to start! The back deck and body panels have also been patched, primed, painted and restored. The rust has been addressed, and now all that’s left is assembly.
There is a little bit more body work to be done on the doors and the nose which will need to be fit to the car, but once you handle that (or use a body shop to handle that for you), then it’s a straightforward assembly project. And thus it’s a project that’s well within most people’s reach and also something that can be completed in your lifetime (starting from scratch often seems to take two lifetimes).
The prior owner did the hardest job and got Kit to an excellent launching point.. now you get to bring the car back to life.
Kit comes with a clear title and all the paperwork you need to register the car anywhere in the world. Most of the parts are there… we can help with anything that’s missing, and more importantly if you want to car built-up in any particular way, we can also contribute to help you get this car finished and driving by the summer.
For example, there are currently no front suspension components installed and the car comes with drum brake parts but we can also upgrade and assemble the car with disc brakes too. We’re happy to make the car a roller on your behalf after your purchase. Right now the car is rolling on a dolly that’s mounted on the front of the frame but that’s easy for us to fix in our building. We have all the pieces so it’s up to you to decide which direction you want to go.
In addition, you can also upgrade the engine to one of our new 1275s, but it comes with a rebuildable 948 engine and smooth case transmission, so you have lots of choices, and we invite you to give us a call and discuss how you want to move this forward. If you’re looking for a winter project, this one deserves serious consideration!
