Hi everyone, I just inherited my uncles 1959 A H Bugeye sprite. Car is completely restored, no perfect on the paint, but no rust, motor and frame are in great shape. Anyone know what these are worth? I have little to no idea what I should price or ask for this car. It has a cobra front end, and I have the original hood along with tons of receipts and original paperwork for the car. It has a clean title, and engine numbers match the vin on car and frame.

Thanks!

Pictures will tell us a lot. Please post some when you have a chance.
 
Is keeping it not an option? I'm sure your uncle would be proud if it stayed in the family.
NADA has a online search that will give you a idea what it's worth.

I like the Hagerty Collector Car Insurance "Valuation Tools." HERE is what they say about your 1959 Bugeye.

Bear in mind that owners typically overestimate the condition of their car and that personalization - such as a Cobra front end (whatever that is) - will diminish the value. It's nice that the original bonnet comes with it, but after a pro repairs and paints and installs it, it will add $,$$$ to the buyer's cost, so deduct that figure from the value.
