BUGEYE Registry

Gordon,

Thanks for the pics. Good luck with the rebuild!

I have heard people say that there are no 1970 Bugeyes. Although I believe it was certainly possible, yours is the first one I have seen.

Thanks for the contribution.

I am in the process of a frame off restoration of a 1970 Series IIA.
Serial# 00667K244360797, Chassis #24436079F4
I have a fair bit of history however there may be some holes I will be able to fill-in later. This Vehicle started it's service in Hope, British Columbia, spent some time in Alberta and drew it's last breath in Wentworth, Nova Scotia. Currently this Pastel Green beauty is on life support in Fredericton, New Brunswick, (Canada). She is sitting on a new galvanized chassis and her axles are currently supporting her transmission. Should have her origional engine reunited by this Saturday.
Her body was in remarkable condition and unmolested. Monday marks her date for "plastic surgery". Thankfully she only requires a nip and a tuck. I was fortunate enough to source two "good used" front panels and they were indeed in good shape. Everything else was pretty much good to go.
The only unfortunate note is, this lovely lady will not be in attendance at the British car show in Windsor, Nova Scotia this month.

Let's see some pics of her; any!

69 Bugeye

I will soon be the new owner of a red Bugeye VIN#24436207F. Currently in your registry under Bill-Williamsport,PA.
The history of this truck that I know is that it was owned by a Bill in Maine from around 1990 until Bill in PA bought it in March 2010.
I looked at the truck when Bill in Maine had it for sale under "oldredbugeye" on the forum. Truck is quite original except galv frame. I thought it ran good, shifted fine, needed some time/$ invested to make it good. Not right at the time for what I was looking for. Sold a completed project this spring so was looking for another, this is it.

24435864F VIN added. I've got to figure out why you can't edit this thread, you started it!

[Rineheitzgabot]

Thompson,

Since I can no longer edit the first page, could you add this one to the registry?

See the bottom of the thread for the VIN.

Thanks!

Ya gotta have headlights somehow...

Mike,

Nice one. Looks pretty bastardized. Could be anything, but probably not a Bugeye (in the traditional sense). Looks like a SIII with a pre-1968 fender, OR, a pre-1968, with a SIII grille.

Do the frame horns show a VIN?

-Gary

Yeah, the grill gave it away...just thought you'd get a kick out of that lonely bug eye...
