Super cheap, super cool midget

It even has an "up great it" distributor. And, believe it or not, he also has a Sprite for sale for only $22,500.

Or, if you want to save a few bucks, this one is only $14,000, marked down from $19,000:

And you even get the engine painted the same color as the body. (I wonder how long that will hold up to engine temperatures?)

Watch out for the stampede....

I guess the "power coated wheels" are a match for the "up great it" distributor on the first one. On the second, I accept that paint is the owner's choice but what appears to be a highly metallic or maybe even close to candy apple red is just hideous to these tired old eyes. Oh well, to each his own.

I didn't realize bridgestone insignia tires were "high performance".

Makes this Bugeye a real bargain by comparison! https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/4230949098.html

I like the dryer vent heater air intake, I always new the prices would increase on these cars.

Their car ($22,500):

My car ($250)

I like the first one, for $22,500 he'll sell you the same car twice. :eagerness:

Second one with the engine painted body colour.....I do believe the paint will last at least as long as the body paint does.
Look at the rear bumper.
It's got a VW engine under the boot!
Never even have to adjust the carburettor under the bonnet....

That is really kinda rough. LH door doesn't fit worth a hoot...look at the LR wing, forward of the wheel arch, bottom, to the shut panel.....Geez.
Pictures 2, 7 and 10.
Bonnet don't seem to fit right...look again a 7, is the body on the side of the cowl under the bonnet done with a rattle can?

I agree, no cherry but for the price maybe not awful? The seller has dropped their price and added more photos so may be worth someone's time - again NFI: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/4234966728.html

If this guy can get $9 k for a really ratty BE I need to change my thoughts about what I can get for Bugsy III that I just bought for a parts car. I'm guessing he figures appearing in a music video adds some values to his car.

LOL - I agree Jim, the music video provenance and a little ignorance goes along way in establishing a price!

I looked earlier today, up to $7k with time yet to go.
