Although maybe not technically a bugeye Sprite if I recall correctly, there
is a 1967 Sprite that was sold by a dealer in Kansas City with a bugeye
front end, it was owned by his daughter a few years ago and offered for
sale, for probably a bigger asking price than any box sprite ever. Was very
low miles and very nice when I saw it last, finished in BRG I beleive.
