BUGEYE Registry

[1969bugeye]

Bugeye,

Thanks for your enthusiasm and your information.

Put down the whole VIN. It is located on the placard in the dash or yes, on the side of the horn, on your frame. The updated list is on the first entry in this post. Give me all of your information, and please post some pics, and I will get the list updated.

Thanks again,
Gary

If there is no heater (or a different one) sometimes folks run the snorkel through there to avoid cutting any metal.

Or the guy likes non-dusty air heating the cabin of his Rover

Check out this "Bugeye" (in quotes for a reason). Not sure what to think about it.

Don't know why, but it looks like the snorkel is hooked up to the fan intake for the heater.

VIN seems invalid, unless I am missing something. Could be an erroneous VIN placard.

Check out the shot of the wheel where in plain view is a missing lug nut.

Doesn't look in bad shape though. Daurie, do you know this vehicle?

Recently found a couple of bugeye specific parts a LH fender front and a NOS grill. Drop me a note if any of you bugeye guys are interested.

For some reason,

I can't edit my first post in this thread to update the list. I have edited it before, what is the deal?

[JSBriggs]

Found another at the Portland ABFM last weekend. I don't have the serial number, but its owned by Rick Harrison out of Stanwood WA. He built it up with a military type theme. A quick google search found this older pic of it, as i unfortunately left my camera at home.

I never got a reply for the interested parts. On the guy with the long lost Rover, after closer examination of his photos I don't think the truck was his. I didn't want to lead him on a wild goose chase, nor entertain any offers if it really was his.

What does "PM"mean?
Any photo's / pricing on the canvas top?

PM is 'Private Message' which you can send and receive from folks on the Forum if you are posting.
