1275, 5 speed, front disc brake well-sorted Bugeye Sprite for sale!

by

NOW SOLD to Roy in Oklahoma! Congratulations on giving our 344th Bugeye a great new home!

This is “Bucky,” (AN5L 18013), a 1959 Bugeye that’s a very special driver. The car has a few nicks in the paint, and the wiring harness should be changed to a nice reproduction original one, but if you want a wonderful 1275-powered front disk-brake and five-speed car to drive and enjoy, give this one a serious look. We had the car here 1400 miles ago (in 2019) for about $13,000 in upgrades for the prior owner, so if you don’t mind the slightly scruffy cosmetics, you get a car with a massive list of mechanical improvements that we already in place for the prior owner.

Whats a Tonto, Kemosahbee?

by

A tonneau is a cover for your Sportscar cockpit, and it is a very important component every open roadster owner should have. Here’s a video all about why they matter. We sell nice ones that are stretchier and that are more likely to fit. Just keep in mind that when you buy one, the fittings are not installed, so your tonneau has to be properly fit to your car, and that is often best done by an auto or marine cover professional to get the best fit.

Size matters

by

A Bugeye is an excellent yardstick for the dexterity of an aging community. What’s your personal Bugeye-Access Index number (BAI)? This empirical measurement is often measured with a grunt-o-meter. And to cut to the chase, if your neighbors hear you grunt when it’s time to sit down and go for a ride in your Sprite, it might be time for a smaller steering wheel.

The quest to find a great Bugeye, online.

by

Bring a Trailer is an amazing phenomenon that moved about $900 million of classic cars and stuff in 2021. There are lots of new competitors wanting a piece of that action, so we will be seeing even more online auctions in the future. And like any modern online universe, it comes with some unique challenges. All the information on a typical BaT auction is largely crowd-sourced, so the discussion about each car is generally directed by the audience and that audience is often striving for credibility.

Thus posters often cite their memories, history, blood, sweat and tears, etc. to gain a toehold in the group discussion. Occasionally, viewers chime in with praise for the seller, EG, “I have seen every car this seller built and they were all excellent.” Occasionally, you’ll hear from folks who have gone to inspect the car, so you’ll see in the comments, “I’ve been to see this car and it’s everything it was represented to be, and looks even better in person.”
