Ummm... That's a 948cc engine, not a 848. I know better; slip o' the finger on
the old keyboard.
By the way - while I have no financial interest in the
car, Dave's my friend and I'd be happy to field any questions you may have or
help out any way I can.

Subject: [Spridgets] Bugeye for sale on Long Island
First the small print: I
have no financial interest in the selling of this
car...
My friend Dave
Blackwell is selling his '61 Bugeye. Yes, I know that
'61 is not considered a
Bugeye year, but you all also know that a new car back
then was often
registered as the year it was sold in, not necessarily when it
was built. So
yes, it is a real Bugeye and the title does say 1961.
I saw it
yesterday in
the shed where it is stored. The body is in great shape, not a
concours
winner, but a great driver. I did not see any rust anywhere.
Suspension is
really nice too. Car has a good paint job on it (yellow). There
is a brand new
set of minilites mounted with what I believe are zero-mile
tires. The tires
aren't brand new, but are unused. There's also a brand new
top never
installed. It has the original 848 engine and smooth case tranny in
it. Car
comes with a spare ribcase tranny. Upgraded to Midget Discs and
late-model
Master cylinders with new hoses, etc. Car is complete and engine
turns freely,
but has not been started in a while, so probably needs going
thru. An
excellent start on a really nice car. Frank could probably have had
it on the
road in a weekend.
Dave wants $6,000 for the whole lot.
If you
want, he'll
throw in a Datsun 5 speed tranny for an extra $500. If somebody
wants the
tranny without the car, it is $750. That's the only thing he'll sell
separately from the car. Lots of spares and extra bits go along for the ride.
Contact Dave at his house: (631)475-2889, or his cell number: (631)576-9345.
Somebody grab it up quick - this is a good one.
