Holy Moly!! Nice car, but how many people will get bored reading that gumpf and look for another one?

 

[Trevor Jessie]

That car was on EBay last year, I think by the same auto group.

Sad to see how little money is offered for a car that has had that amount of work done to it -- the ghastly (IMHO) dash excepted.

When you consider that the Team Sprite car fetched over 4 times the current bid for this car, you wonder what is different here... Or is it just fundamentally that Bugeyes are more valuable?

 

[jlaird]

Bugeyes are more valuable, no question about it. Made fewer years and fewer of them.

 

[bugimike]

I do think the Bugeye should hold its value a little better, if only because they were only really produced for the 3-4 years and have their unique exterior look (even though they are all so similar under the skin). That said, a good car is a good car and should be valued by its condition! I do not think that dash does anything for the value or appeal of the car (even though it is quite well executed artistically). The length of the write-up would put me off a bit. Long-winded histories instead of the straight facts make me a little suspicious of the "hard sell" as to the "real" value of the car!

 

[Speedy_Pete]

If I bought that car the first thing I'd do is find a replacement dash. The one that's in there is pretty funky, be cool to have hanging on the wall in the garage, but not in the car. Second thing: junk the carpets and get the correct red ones in there.

 

[jlaird]

But it does have the correct heater knob with the big "H".

 

[vping]

Nice car but the dash is a bit much.

 

[asoupley]

Jack, ask them how much for the heater knob! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
