My heart is filled with joy to have this car out for an hour-long drive today. Gumby was just 20 years old in 1979 when I found him forlorn on the street in New Haven, and $1100 later I was the proud owner of a beat up Bugeye in primer gray, with no interior and wiring that all melted on the drive home right after purchase.

Now, this is the best Bugeye of them all. Sure, I’m biased, but I’ve also driven more than 500 Sprites. This one is fast, stable, grippy, well damped, comfy, and the nicest dang color combination I’ve ever seen on a classic car. Supercharged, 1275, five speed, and rear disc brakes too! It is rewarding for me to think back to when I got this car, nearly 30 years before I started Bugeyeguys.

Today, Gumby has a brand new custom tonneau (that fits over the head fairing, in matching green). Those stunning custom leather seats need protection.

Cars that are steeped in history make us smile. Today while out driving Gumby, my smile was as wide as a Bugeye grill.
If you want a killer Bugeye that is as nice or nicer than Gumby, check out Jesse, and Sage, two stunning sisters that are also the best of the best. You can see each of these cars by clicking their photos below. These are cars for people who want Gumby level expressions of these special cars. Limited. Exotic. Expensive. Unique. Perhaps even over the top. But if you want a one of a kind car that will stop traffic at any cars and coffee event (or show, or at the gas station, for the matter), these cars are worth special consideration!
