hello all,
My name is Brian and I am a Bugeye-aholic.
Well not really, I do have a Bugeye. It's been in my family for about 45 years. It was raced by my Aunt in HP SCCA, mostly in the Northeast, the Glen, Lime Rock, Summit Point and Mid-Ohio, in the late 60's to about 1971.
She actually had 2, the one i have she sold to my Father. He raced it in the early 70's, again mostly in the Northeast. he and I autocrossed it for a couple years.
After I graduated High School, and left home for a stint in the Army, he started stripping it down for a restoration.
Well, it never got finished, barely started. he got cancer in the mid 90's and passed away in 1998.
I was able to get it from my step-mother and started the resto, making it a street legal.
After many years, it was completed in 2009.
With much help from the Spridgets list, the yahoo Bugeye list and Chuck Christ and Frank Clarici.
It would have been easier probably to buy a completed car, but this car had too much family history to let go.
Presently 1098 powered, with a rib case. Someday/maybe 1275 5 speed.
Brian S.
Bugeye finally resto'd with help from Frank C.
Pay it forward!
Here's an after and Before shot
