                      1926 VW-BUGATTI TYPE 37 REPLICA

Up for your bidding consideration is this 1926 Bugatti T37 Replica built on a VW pan chassis. This car was built with the very rare early Bugatti kit with the solid body pieces that do not open thereby contributing to a better smoother body putting the emphasis on the fabulous design of the boattail racer.   The first ever VW Beetle replicated into a T35/37 Bugatti was done by Bill Stevenson of Costa Mesa. CA back in the mid 1960's.   It was a fabulous one-off that inspired the replica/kits of the late 60's and 1970's.   There were hundreds of kits sold during this decade and a half throughout California and the rest of the US but unfortunately not too many nice cars were created.   This early Bugatti replica is perhaps the nicest I have ever seen.   The length. the width. the height. and the wheelbase are very close to the original.   This Bugatti has an older restoration that was painted in the Bugatti blue that is very close to the CMC Bugatti models that are often for sale here on eBay.   The headlights are from a Ford Model A and are correctly painted like an original Bugatti.   It has a correct Bugatti badge placed properly on the top of the radiator shell.   The dash is "engine-turned" and features Classic Instruments for a vintage look.   The steering wheel is a Moto-Lita four spoke wheel and the car rides on Model A wheels creating the right look of the Type 37.    The car starts easy and runs like a top.   Absolutely no problems with the motor and the car sounds wonderful as you motor on down the road.   The car brakes great and stops on a dime.   Most early Volkswagens have weak brakes but not here. this car starts. runs. and brakes without fail.   Although this replica runs great and looks great it will need some attention depending on the demands of its new owner.   The speedometer and the gas gauge do not work and the front shocks may need to be replaced to smooth out the ride and the leather by the snaps/seat are not perfect so expect to do a little tweaking here and there but overall you will not find a better T35 or T37 replica for the price.   The stock engine is a rear engine VW 1600 air cooled flat 4 cylinder.  The exhaust is cleverly wrapped and comes out below the boattail without any cutting to the fiberglass body. very clean look.   The boattail is bolted on/off and does not flip up like the newer kits.   The tires are new.   There are racing goggles from the 1920's dangling from the mirror (see picture) and they are included with the car.   Also included with the car is a metal Bugatti sign that I obtained many years ago from Czechoslovakia. nicely sized at 9 x 18.   It's a beautiful sign and will look great in the new owners home/office or garage.   It itself is worth several hundred dollars.   It is titled as a 1971 Volkswagen and the title is clean/clear.   A pre purchase inspection is available at anytime. just contact me through eBay for an appointment.   If you have any questions. feel free to contact me through eBay and I will do my very best to answer them accurately and promptly.   This is a great opportunity for one to buy a fun reliable old replica at a price that won't break the bank.   The car is located in Hot Springs National Park. Arkansas.   The winning bidder is to pay in full within three (3) days of winning the auction.   This Bugatti will likely need to be towed or transported to its new home unless the winning bidder lives somewhat nearby.   I will be happy to keep it stored in my garage for up to 30 days while arrangements are being made.   Cashiers check. bank wire. or cash in person are acceptable for payment.

Descriptions are for identification purposes only.   It is up to the buyer to satisfy himself/herself as to the condition.   The car is sold as-is. where-is. without warranty.

Thank you for viewing my eBay listing.   Best of luck in bidding.
