Evaluation: Mostly good paint with some distress in the body seams. The sparse interior is in excellent condition, but the brightwork on this car falls short with pits and scratches throughout. Appears to have new wheels and tires. The right taillight is cracked. A cute Sprite convertible that could be elevated to the next level with some more focused attention to detail.
Bottom Line: There is always a lot more than just muscle cars and old pickup trucks at Mecum Kissimmee, and it isn’t just American muscle that brings strong prices there, either. Bugeyes have a lot of charm and fun factor, and because of that are worth more than their production numbers and performance might suggest. Over 30 grand including commission, though? That kind of money should buy a concours-ready Bugeye, and that’s not what this car is.
