Excellent 2002 Boxster S for sale-time limited price reduction!

by

NOW THROUGH DECEMBER 10 ONLY!!!

Due to unexpected client health issues, the 2002 Porsche Boxster S we sold a few weeks ago is back up for sale at the special discounted price of just $13,995! The price has been deeply discounted to promptly move it to a new home.

After December 10, the car will be wholesaled to a late-model auto dealer (to be retailed at a much higher price) and will no longer be available… so don’t delay!

This is a premium mid-engined machine, that would have sold for about $52k in 2002, and I can’t think of a better deal if you want a high-level great-driving classic car for Miata money.

You will not find another one in this condition at anything approaching this price. It is currently with our client in San Rafael, California. You can pick-up the car there or we can arrange shipment anywhere in the country!

Take a look at the photos and videos below and grab it by December 10 or it will be too late! After the 10th, the car will no longer be available, so don’t delay!

I’ve always been a big Porsche fan, so I buy nice ones when I can find them. The cars keep rising in value, so it seems smart to have some Porsche in your portfolio.

This 2002 Porsche Tiptronic Boxster S (WP0CB29862U660339) came from one of our clients with a good-sized collection. He takes great care of his stuff, and this is an excellent example… very clean, with about 74K miles. The Tiptronic transmission makes the car effortless to drive, especially if you prefer a car with no clutch pedal. The car has been a lifelong Florida resident before it came here to our shop. If you are looking for a turn-key sportscar that anyone can drive, this is a great candidate!

The Seal Grey metallic paint is a particularly striking option on this 986. The speed-activated rear spoiler is very cool! The car also features an aftermarket radio with a front trunk-mounted six-CD changer and the Bose speakers offer high quality tunes while cruising with the top down! AC works great too. Top is electric with one touch operation, and features a glass convertible window. Easy!

Tonneaus matter

by

This piece of flat fabric may be the most important part of any Bugeye. It protects your cockpit in multiple ways. A tonneau also allows a bold color statement as you can see on “Flip,” our 401st Bugeye sold! The Cream tan Tonneau that we ultimately fit on the car looks delicious and coordinates nicely with the white wall tires.

On Bart, our 402nd Bugeye sold, we custom fit a tonneau around his roll bar and also modified the pouch for his smaller than stock steering wheel. You can see the before picture here, and then after, the pocket fits the wheel nicely. Check out the video to see more about this particular custom tonneau.

Before fitment of a custom steering wheel pouch, the stock piece looked baggy.
After a custom fitting, Bart’s tonneau is looking sharp!

This cover is essential for every Bugeye and we sell lots of options. Click the photos below to browse and choose your own, as well as the accessories needed to install your own tonneau! You can also click here for our complete parts catalog.

License to Bugeye

by

There were no factory license plate holes on Bugeye Sprites, so people mess them up all the time. Thus, you should check the positioning of your license plate holes while restoring (and before painting) your car. We sell a template to help you determine what goes where, which you can purchase by clicking here.

Here, Kenny is using our license plate and emblem template to line up where to drill the holes needed to mount everything on the rear of this Bugeye. Click the photo to order your own template and take the guesswork out of hole placement!

But if it’s too late and the car is already painted, here’s a video on how we addressed off-center holes on our 400th Bugeye Lulu and how we fixed this issue for the new owner. If you want our license plate mounting kit, you can buy that by clicking here.

1960 five speed 1275 Bugeye driver for sale!

This is a very thoroughly worked-over Bugeye and a great opportunity to own a very well-sorted classic car that has enjoyed generous spending from prior owners! 

This is “Bucky” (AN5L 18013). We first met Bucky in September 2018, when we picked it up for a client in Wisconsin and brought it to our shop for a five speed upgrade along with multiple other improvements totaling about $19,000, including:

  • Rebuilding the entire front end
  • New disc brake kit
  • New swivel axles
  • New rack boots
  • Repaired parking brake
  • Replaced pinion seal
  • New steering column bushings
  • New hanging gas pedal
  • New header with our twin-tip muffler
  • Aluminum Radiator
  • Six-blade fan
  • K&N Lifetime air filters
  • New leaf springs
  • New flywheel ring gear
  • Upgraded rear view mirror 
  • (there are lots of other items we addressed, ask if you would like to see that build sheet)

We shipped it back to him with about 20 miles indicated on the new GPS speedo in 2018. He put about 1500 miles on the car, then his priorities changed, and he sold us the car in late 2021. In March of 2022, we sold the car to Roy in Oklahoma, and before it departed for Oklahoma, we added another extensive list of roughly $15,000 worth of upgrades. 

That round of improvements included:

  • New master cylinder
  • New hard brake and clutch lines
  • Upgraded later Sprite rear drum brakes with new wheel cylinders and shoes
  • New front shocks and shock bushings
  • New radius arms
  • New fuel tank and fuel pickup line
  • New solid state fuel pump and end-to-end hard fuel line
  • New wiring harness
  • New dummy regulator
  • LED light conversion including LED headlight bulbs
  • New electronic distributor and coil
  • New spark plugs
  • New battery and battery cables
  • New oil pressure line kit
  • New radiator hoses
  • GPS speedometer
  • Electronic tach
  • Full dashboard restoration including welding up extra holes, smoothing and recovering with new vinyl
  • Recovered dash bar
  • New dash grab handle
  • All-new dash knobs
  • New choke cable
  • Rebuilt fuel gauge
  • New door liners
  • New black bikini top
  • And more!

Roy has decided to get something different, so we have the car for sale again, and now we are able to offer an extremely well-sorted Bugeye that’s been impressively upgraded and maintained with about 2300 miles showing on the clock. It’s too bad it never got a repaint, but it remains an awesome experience to have an ultimate driver with a five-speed transmission and all the other correct improvements and make these cars so special.

If you are not cosmetically picky and love the idea of a five-speed overdrive-equipped car with a fully synchronized gearbox, Bucky could be the perfect Bugeye for you! Click “read more” below for a full compliment of photos, check out the driving video above for a taste of what Bucky is like to drive, and give us a call if you’d like to make Bucky your own!

Who doesn’t love a handwritten note?

by

We received this note from Andy, the proud new owner of Fritz! It’s been roughly a year or so that Fritz has been with Andy and it has gotten a complete transformation. We’re happy that we could offer our expertise to another enthusiast in the Bug-o-sphere! One more Bugeye back on the road!

What used to turn us on, and define us

by

This is Steve and his old Bugeye (Bugeye on the right with bumper) and his “sports car gang” in 1967 in Winston Sale, NC.

As change in the world continues to accelerate, I appreciate this photo that much more. I bet many of you feel the same way, and so I thought I would share this great image with you!

Thanks Steve for sharing it with us!
