Of course, many listers would like to know how hard you had to pull to open the
trunk lid on a Bugeye! :-)

In a used car lot near my office I spotted an orange Bugeye, rusting
away and in terrible shape. Curiosity compelled me to stop and look
at it, and upon lifting the trunk lid I discovered dark green paint
inside, which appeared to be factory finish to me. I remember
thinking how unusual the color was, esp. in contrast to the horrid
orange repaint on the exterior. I asked about the car, and the lot
owner had the original paperwork. It was a one-owner car, sold to the
lot in 1980, and had been decaying ever since, with many parts now
cannibalized. The owner said he'd tow it to my house and sell it for a
parts car, but it was in almost too bad of shape even for that and
too big of a resto project for me. It kinda made me sad seeing it
there like that....
