Souped-up 1960 Bugeye for sale! 1275, five-speed, four wheel disc brakes, & so much more!

by

“Bee” (AN5L 40869) is a 1960 Bugeye with tons of modifications. It sports a 1275 engine with a single HIF 44 carb (extra power, no synching needed), four wheel disc brakes, hard tonneau, extra lights, three point seat belts, flip nose conversion, electronic ignition, front anti-roll bar… everything you need and then some-great power, great fun! Watch the walk-around video below and enjoy all of the custom features employed on this amazing ride!

Tim was the most recent steward for this car for the past ten or so years, and he modified it all to make an old-school street racer. Very street friendly and fun, modified with all sorts of custom touches. Use it as a roadster with the hard tonneau or fit the top and windows for colder season fun!

This is a solid car ready to play! Quick with great brakes and tires! Check out the driving video below and enjoy the ride!

The car performs great, good fun on every turn! The interior is black with matching yellow piping, upholstered in premium leather for superior feel. The controls are quite unique, as well, employing flip-top toggle switches for that true race car aesthetic! Check out the video below for an in-depth look at the controls!

The 1275 engine performs great and runs fantastic! The single HIF44 carburetor is easier to dial in than dual SU carburetors are, allowing for an easier time tuning and eliminating the need for synchronizing. Other upgrades include an aluminum radiator, alternator, add-on driving lights including a third center driving light, LED turn signal bulbs, a flip-forward nose, and so much more!

Modified 1960 Bugeye Sprite for sale, mini Cobra!

by

Shelby (AN5L 33967) is a one of a kind special Bugeye built in 1960. We first found this car about 15 years ago in Florida, where a hot rod restorer had some fun grinding off the beading and removing the park lights and custom building a Cobra-like rear license plate recess in the back of the car. This all made the car very smooth and sleek, a great look! He also added the roll bar. Check out the walk-around video below where we cover some of these custom touches, and more!

When we first found Shelby, it still needed more mechanical work, but it had a beautiful paint job that you still see today. The car was built at that time with a 1275 engine and four speed transmission, as well as front disc brakes.

Since then, we have upgraded various parts of the car for three different owners. For the first owner, we installed custom white gauges. These are original Smiths gauges re-done with white faces- a stunning and quite unique. We’ve never seen another with these faces. We were lucky to have had them screen printed this way. That owner also had us recover the seats with new leather blue covers with matching white piping. We also added a Ford Five speed transmission.

Subsequent owners had additional mods done. Shelby got a supercharger in November of 2015. (The odometer is not working currently but we estimate only about 1000 miles have been added since the supercharger upgrade). At the time the supercharger was installed, we also put in an upgraded (stronger) clutch kit to handle the extra power, as well as an upgraded roller throwout bearing and aluminum radiator with a new water pump. We put a new fuel tank in too at that time.  In March of 2022, we installed a new wiring harness and changed the rear brake wheel cylinders and battery. In July of 2023, we added adjustable control arms in front, tapered front wheel bearings, a new master cylinder, and new radius arms.

The result is an impressively modified trick Bugeye, certain to impress. Performance is great as shown below in the driving video!

1947 Studebaker M-5 1/2 ton pickup for sale, Superb country farm truck!

by

Here’s a sneak preview of a truck we just got to sell for one of our clients… this is, IMHO, the perfect truck. It looks fresh off the farm, and yet has nice street tires and is quite useable on modern roads. Drive it anywhere! Three speed, 12 volt conversion, cleaned out fuel tank and cooling system, starts every time! This is a rare find.

She’s quite sharp looking with just the right patina and even some hay in back! The interior is excellent. It drives beautifully! This truck was purchased from a rural Pennsylvania service station thirty years ago. Low mileage and irreplaceable!

Superb Aston Green five-speed Bugeye Sprite for sale!

by

NOW SOLD to Nate in CA! Congratulations on taking home this striking car! Bugeye #475!!

This is the car for you if color is your thing… This is “Gerry,” (AN5L 47448) a 1960 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite (titled as a 1961) we are honored to have for sale. It’s the best color (same as Gumby, so I am biased!). Aston Martin Racing Green is the most requested color when people call our shop wanting to paint their car. This green has lots of silver in it, and makes for a powerful color combination on these little cars!

Gerry was built by a Bugeye fanatic (in Canada) who wanted to build the ultimate Sprite. He had previously had several Bugeyes, and with this car, he wanted to leave no stone unturned. Thus, you will find here rear disc brakes with painted calipers, front brake disc brakes too of course, and a 1275 engine with slightly larger pistons to put out a healthy dose of horsepower. The car is also fit with 165 Vredestein tires with excellent chrome wire wheels. He also installed an extra capacity oil sump to ensure the engine always gets excellent lubrication. This is a common practice for Sprite racers. He’s fit a nifty expansion tank for the cooling system, as well.

We sold this car in 2020 to a very conscientious collector, who used the car sparingly, only about 350 miles since he purchased the car from us. For him, we installed a Ford Five speed transmission and new clutch, so now Gerry does it all! We also put in a GPS speedometer and electronic tachometer when the transmission upgrade was performed. The GPS speedo now shows roughly 350 miles, the mileage the most recent owner has driven the car.

The car has a black soft top in nice condition, as well as a good black tonneau and nearly new side curtains. Pictures to come! A good wire wheel spare tire is also included.

The car is extremely solid. The interior is beautiful! Perhaps the only thing I would do to it would be to add a flip forward nose conversion for better engine access. Check out the driving video below and see if you agree… Gerry is another extremely special Sprite that we are lucky to have for sale!

Kit Bit

by

“Kit” is ready for departure! She’s a stunner! This car was a long time in the making, and we are delighted to take a car that was in progress for many years and finally complete it. In particular, it’s exciting for us to make a special car that really turns heads. We love to take idle Bugeyes and put them back on the road.

Check out the video below to learn more. If you like this sort of thing, you can purchase our car Angus, a similar build you can find on our website. Click here to learn more about Angus, or call if you would like us to build you one in your own color scheme!

Looking up

by

We see a lot of bent front frames. That’s because they are supposed to be bent (upwards of course)!

The angle of this frame horn in proportion to the cart underneath (which is level) may look bad, but in fact, this is how these are supposed to line up.

In the video below, you can see how every Bugeye has a little bit of bend in the front frame… by design!
