We’ve owned this car three times so we know Floyd quite well. Each time, we have upgraded this car to make it into a reliable superstar!

Leather seats with custom piping plus deluxe door pockets and a hardura tunnel mat make for a delicious interior. The car drives great with electronic ignition, new carburetors, stainless exhaust header, aluminum radiator, spin on oil filter, new wiring, K and N lifetime air filters… all these upgrades will keep the car running great for years to come.

And the flip forward nose we added (properly) is a dream for anyone with a weak back or if you want ultimate engine access.

We’ve sold the car to three different great owners, each one of them has invested generously. Now you can enjoy the result.

The car is fit with a good tonneau and a twin-tipped muffler too! There is no top and no top bow, but these are items we stock in case the new owner would like a top (prior owners only used the car in fair weather and no top was needed).

Everything works nicely on this car. The only issues I could find are that the combo gauge light bulb is not working (all other lights and switches work), the windshield glass glazing rubber is older and a bit dried out and the battery is from 2022. I would probably replace the battery with a fresh one, but this one works fine. The glass is very good so I would leave the glazing rubber as is (I would only change it if we were changing the glass, which is not necessary). All the other lights work great. All punch list items were sorted for prior owners, so this car is quite ready for a new home.

The black switch on the dash above the cigarette lighter, by the way, is a fuel pump cut off, a nice anti-theft feature (and it functions fine).

The paint shines nicely but is not the strongest part of this car (reliability/ drivability is). The paint has a few imperfections, such as where the bonnet meets the cowl in the center where the paint has been touched up and a few other imperfections such as where some of the yellow stripes meet the black paint in a few spots on the nose. I put some new pix in the gallery below to show these imperfections. They don’t photograph well, which is a good thing, because they are hard to see. We can do a face time call if you’d like a personal tour of the paint and/or anything else.

Stripes are all painted-on BTW. The paint is way too nice to require a repaint. The best new owner for this car is someone who is not after a perfect paint job. If you have that approach, this paint will last for you a good long time.

Sage is still available if you are looking for the ultimate compact classic car. There will never be another like it! This car is built with the best of the best!

This week, we finally had a minute to put in the front anti-roll bar and trim the underside studs that were a bit too long for my taste, just a few small details to make this great car better than ever. You can see new underside pictures in the photo gallery below.

Call if you want to be the talk of the town, with this ultimate Bugeye. And check out the driving video below!

This is one of the best we have ever built and it’s for sale. Wool carpet, custom leather hides and all the right performance mods… check it out!

Sage is chassis number AN5L 4337, a 1958 Bugeye production number for a car that was first titled in 1959, as was common back in the day. The Door tags show BAE 4561 and AN5 04231, both correct and in range with the chassis number, as was the norm when these cars were built (see photo gallery). The car comes with a New Jersey title which records the proper chassis number, AN5L 4337.

Sage has the best of everything, in a spectacular color combination. The car is a winner in every way. Check out the new photos! If you don’t care what it costs and you only want the ultimate interpretation of this wonderful Bugeye platform, then Sage is for you!

Sage is a complete rotisserie restoration, with four-wheel disc brakes, five speed Ford transmission, and a powerful 1380 Oselli engine worth about 95 HP. The exhaust note is delicious and the car is quite quick.

We drew from nearly 20 years of experience to build the best of everything into this car and then we went off the map with colors and textures to create a stunning completely restored car for a premium driving experience.

The interior is both elegant and utilitarian. The exterior is contemporary and nostalgic at the same time. The driving experience is simultaneously classic, high performance and forgiving. Check out part two of our driving video, showcasing Sage in all its glory!

This is the first car we have built with wool square weave carpet and we love the look so much that we made this carpet kit a product in our parts catalog.

If you want the best of the best and you want serious “wow” factor at the next cars and coffee, then Sage could be the next car to add to your stable. Click “read more” for more photos and give a call if you are interested!

Briggs is a great driver. Prior owners have invested in upgrades so you don’t have to! We’ve dropped the price to make this car more attractive than ever! Call if interested…

PRICE REDUCED!! Now $25,995!

We removed the green worn out seats on this car and installed some beautiful new black ones with new good foam and new covers. This is an exceptional upgrade on an already nice interior that was loaded with a lot of other nice new black parts so the color change of the seats blends with the rest of the car quite nicely!

Give us a call if you’re interested in discussing adopting this car! 

This 1960 Bugeye (titled as a 1961) called “Briggs” was built late in the production run, near the end of Frogeye production. AN5L 45243 had a completely rebuilt 1098 engine and rebuilt rib case transmission installed in 2020, with few miles added since. The car runs and drives nicely, as you can see in the driving video posted below.

About $10,000 in upgrades were done in our shop for the owner in 2020 to make the car an excellent driver. Now, you can purchase this great driver and know you are buying a well-sorted car.

Among the upgrades in 2020 were three point seat belts, new door seals, a completely restored and recovered dash board and cockpit trim bar, new windshield glass, all-new brake and clutch hydraulics, aluminum radiator, new generator, new rear lever shocks, K&N lifetime air filters, and more!

The car does need new seat foams and we’ll see if the prior owner will cover that expense so that the new owner can enjoy a more comfortable ride. The tonneau zipper has also failed, and we can fix that here in our shop next week! Easy upgrades!

In 2019, “Briggs” was at the shop for a laundry list of repairs and upgrades – read the spreadsheet below to see:

Click “read more” below for more photos and give us a call if Briggs is the right Bugeye for you!

Available for $49,995. (It would cost more than $80k for us to build one like this for you!)

“Zippy” is a 1275, five-speed 1960 Bugeye that has enjoyed multiple sessions in our shop over the last decade, which has included manipulating and/or replacing nearly every mechanical component (and many cosmetic ones too!). This is a special car with a huge amount of money invested and superb outlaw style. Check out a video drive below, in which you can hear the awesome exhaust note and hear about some of the work we have done to Zippy! (and if you prefer just the engine sound with no narration, check out the second video below)

We sent Zippy to it’s most recent home in Texas in 2020, and the owner put about 500 miles on the car in that time so a lot of these upgrades are still fresh. This includes a Ford five-speed transmission, twin-tip muffler, front and rear disc brakes, front sway bar, new wiring harness, aluminum radiator, limited slip differential, new SU carburetors, and much more!

So now some lucky new owner will enjoy the fruit of our labor and a massive investment by the former owners. This car enjoyed about 100 hours of pampering and repair, and now you can buy it at a steep discount, considering what has been spent. And most importantly, it all works and works well, as you can see in the driving videos. All these upgraded parts are properly integrated to make Zippy a great car to drive with no bad habits.

The car looks just right: a little more aggressive… A little lower… a little raw. Maybe that’s how Bugeyes should be. That’s why it’s a favorite. It sounds great. It performs beautifully. And it makes you feel like you’re Steve McQueen when you drive it.

The 1275 engine is strong, the twin-tip exhaust note is crisp, and this car is a hoot to drive! Check out the video below to see Zippy in action!

Zippy comes with a custom tonneau that’s fit around the roll bar with velcro, as well as a custom bikini top that utilizes the roll bar to hold it up. No top, top bow, or side curtains are included. It was built for fair weather in Texas with a tonneau and sun shade as the priorities.
