Obtained .... if you would like more information about this ad contact SPRITE. 1-22-08 Rick, I wanted to let you know that I've bought a Sprite so you can delete my "want ad" or note the information on the Sprite Jubilee site. I've got to tell you that I was contacted by some wonderful people in response to the information on your site. And I can see that some of them will become long-term contacts for me. For information's sake, I bought a green '59 Bugeye from Louisiana, and I hope to be able to participate in the Sprite Jubilee in Carlisle with it. Thanks again for your support and help. 'Talk to you again soon. Dwight

12-26-07 Bugeye wanted: Dear Dr. Moses, I'm from Hollidaysburg, PA and I'm a retired long time amateur SCCA racer (but still have a fulltime vocation) and I'm now more interested in less stressful (and I'm hopeful somewhat less expensive) car hobbies. My very first sports car was a '59 Bugeye (bought in '62 for $700) and think I'd like to get another Bugeye for just tinkering, showing, Sunday driving, etc. I've been watching e-bay and have made occasional bids on some Sprites, but I'd much rather be able to deal with someone personally and also actually see the vehicle before I commit myself. In that regard, I know you are very active in Sprite groups and I thought you may know of some desireable Bugeyes within a reasonable distance from us (200-400 miles) that may be available for purchase. I'm looking for a fairly sound vehicle and I'm not a purist for authenticity (engine and brake upgrades do not bother me). I can afford what appears to be the price range of most decent cars I see on e-bay. Incidentally, I'd love to join the 50th anniversary Sprite Jubilee at Carlisle if I have a nice car. If you know of any possibilities, I'd really appreciate some assistance. Please e-mail me at ....... or call days, ....... or evenings, ......., Thanks so much. Regards, .......

12-24-07 The car is a 1966 Mark III. It's not original, but very sound and no major rust. It has the correct 1098 engine with a Weber carb and a new Pertonix ignition and coil. I also believe, but have no documentation, that there is some kind of street cam in the motor. I will also include whatever extra parts that I have. I am asking $5,200.00 for the car and spares.

122407 Help wanted. Hi. I assume from your discussion of Bugeyezing a Spridget chassis that you or people you know have experience with this modification.

I would very much like to chat with people who have experience Bugeyezing a Midget. Aloha, Michael Rowe Telephone # 631-878-9384 mdrowe@optonline.net
