Yes, it's a '68, but was sold as a '69. The air pump and other smog control systems are missing on the engine so I know it's a '68.

These toy cars are cool but I have pytanko where you can buy these and how much my car because I'd so wanted him to go and do the dandy thank you very much for your help.

is it easy to get 1 of these things going cause there is a 66 in pretty bad shape but i want to drive that. it needs a new passenger seat and some rust removal. what are your thoughts

@speedwithamustache Hi, i am just replying because i'm 15 and i am buying a bugeye in a short time. and i'm going to get it running and its gona be my first car. thanks for that paragraph, it inspired me more to get one!!

[speedwithamustache]

This really takes me back to my youth. Bought my first bugeye at 15, got it running shortly after I turned 16. When I got to the end of the driveway, I didn't stop. From then on, my life was changed, I was a 100% car nut. 40 years ago. I still have the bugeye.

Now a very collectable little car!

I wish I had one!

Looks complete and just needs some TLC!

I've got a BMW 328 convertible and a Mk 3 Sprite and i have to say the Sprite is a lot more fun- you feel like you are doing something rather than just driving

no--the one I had didn't even have seat belts. I would've never let my kids drive one. You best stick with something with a few safety features, and a little less collectible!
