Someone on the Big Healey list may have forwarded to this list the following info -- if so, sorry for bothering the group but, in a nutshell, I'm helping a friend find a new owner for the 1960 Bugeye

Gary Anderson, That WAS hilarious!!! You, of all people, should know that the car sold by Barrett-Jackson was NOT particularly original nor worth more than about 40% of the selling price. Auctions do
So that leads to the philosophical question -- what IS the right value for a Gold Level concours Bugeye Sprite at this time? I'm certainly not going to accept the idea that ANY running, attractive, o
Are those recent sales? I'm curious because of these two recent sales that suggest that Bugeyes may have moved into the "impractical but cute and collectible" category, similar to MG TCs and Beetle C

I am really sorry but I have to but in here . . . I have bought and sold many Bugeyes over the years. A restorable original Bugeye is worth no more $5K at the high side. Before long, during the resto
I have a very original bugeye that I should sell. I have owned it for 30 years and it's a two owner car. I don't want to sell it but I'm not able to keep bunches of cars like Jay Leno....who is a gre

My 61 blue Bug-I is exactly as you described with the exception that mine has a recent restored engine and tranny to as close to gold level as I could get it. You can see pictures of it at Ed's www.J

I would really love for those Barrett-Jackson prices to be realistic, but Spridgets of any vintage are still short on respect. The Sprites were always looked down upon by the "Big Healeys" and The Mi
I agree with David on this. I sold a very nice but not concours Bugeye last year for just under 9,000. (Brit car mag cover 4/99) And it had a repaint and new interior since the magazine shot. The 12

Good point. There really isn't much of anything on a Bugeye that is worth removing for use on one of the superior Midgets, is there? I cannot think of a single piece of a Bugeye that I would want to

I take that to mean that you are offering to sell me BugLite for $750? Given its propensity for trailer rides, I think that would be about right. It really WANTS to be a trailer queen and you are no
