Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Luggage rack. A very superficial cosmetic restoration. Thick paint, tacky interior, wrong hood latches and even then they were mounted incorrectly, hood askew by an inch, heavy black paint underhood. About the best that can be said is that the underlying Bugeye appears to be sound, but given its treatment even thats far from a sure thing.

Market commentary

This is real money for a good Bugeye; for this poorly treated and presented thing its a gift. The buyer should take a charitable deduction of $3,000.
