Looks like a LOT of stuff is missing. Wonder if its worth the $1 opening bid /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

looks fairly solid. but i would let him keep the junk yota motor. The opening bid is only $1.00. i would bid that.

OOPS.

I had my decimal in the wrong place, edited post.

It does look solid. Still missing a lot of parts. Seeing how Im looking for my first I am hoping to start off ahead of the curve so to speak.

Anyone know what the deal is with the bubble on the bonnet?

I think the car is worth at least the $1 opening bid even just for the body those bubbles you are asking about are the headlights. Mark

I meant the bubble down the center line. LOL

Hey, the chrome bumper MGB next to it is only $118...Does that mean a B is worth 118 times as much as a sprite?? Maybe this is the project car for Jaybird.

Put the word out in your area that you are looking for a bugeye and be patient. This one seems pretty well hacked and not worth the trouble to transport. Just my 2 cents.

Sorry Bwillis did not look at all the pics! Never seem a Bugeye w/that type of "bubble" on the bonnet could have been owner added but looks too nice for something someone added could have been I guess? Mark

Looks like a mod made for clearence for a carb or air filter on the Toyota engine. Someone did a bit of cutting up front. Sitting at about $400. Still a good deal for the parts if nothing else.
