[Spridgets] BE 4Sale on Long Island

[David Booker]

I posted this a few months ago for a friend. He got some interest, but never
sold it. Was talking to him last night and said I'd send out another note just
in case anybody's looking now that wasn't then. So here it is again:
 
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 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 948 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.
