PRICE REDUCED, now $22,495!

This is a very well sorted Bugeye so don’t miss an opportunity to purchase a whole lot of improvements at a depreciated price! Prior owners paid to prepare this car for their enjoyment, now you get to purchase the car with all those upgrades already built-in!

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.

Here’s a Nice Bugeye for sale that will satisfy anyone who loves originality!

“Calvin” (AN5L 41960) was a lifetime California car until the current owner purchased it a year ago at a Bonhams auction. The car is almost completely stock, with 948 engine, drum brakes, and bias ply white walls, just as is indicated in the heritage certificate (below) that is included in the sale of the car.

The engine is the original unit and all the numbers of the engine and body match the numbers on the birth certificate. The car is fit exactly as it would’ve come when it was new!

Calvin drives nicely and is quite solid-excellent floors and body. The paint is very good, although it would benefit from a good compounding if the new owner prefers a more lustrous finish. Still, it shines quite nicely and presents beautifully. If you want more of a mirror finish, some buffing would help make the car “pop” even more.

The interior is also excellent, in correct black with white piping, just like when new. It is also fitted with a premium hardura tunnel mat in matching black (which we sell here in our parts catalog). This mat more closely matches the original rubber mat than the carpet you usually see in restored cars.

If you want a Bugeye with a seriously stock vibe, this is a great car for you!

There are a few maintenance opportunities that we can address for the new owner… the water temp gauge and speedometer are not working. We can fix both. Also, the fuel sender seems to be leaking given the fuel tracks on the outside of the trunk floor. This just means it’s time to drop the tank and reseal the sender with a new gasket.

The fuel line could use an upgrade, we’d like to clean that up. The car once had fender wing mirrors and these have been removed. It’s up to the new owner on this one… we can easily put mirrors back in the holes, which are now covered with white tape. Or, the holes can be filled and the nose repainted, totally up to the new owner! I would budget roughly $3000 to have us upgrade all these opportunities for improvement before we send the car to your door.

Call to discuss! We can prepare the car for you to your taste!
