I N T E R N A T I O N A L B U Y E R S W E L C O M EUNIQUE ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITY1937 BUGATTI GRAND PRIXT-35 ROADSTER TRIBUTESHOW CARN E V E R R E G I S T E R E D O R D R I V E NTITLED AS A 1983 DATSUN 2 ZXA BUYER HIT THE BUY IT NOW AND NEVER ONCE RESPONDED TO EMAILS. ROUND 2 !!! Those ebayers who know and appreciate the inimitable Bugatti marque will undoubtedly recognize the superb quality of this completely hand built, ery impassioned ALL-ALUMINUMbodied Bugatti Grand Prix T-35 tribute car. The western New York gentleman who labored more than six years to build this car invested thousands of dollars and thousands of hours of meticulous research and fabricating to construct what I consider,"as authentic a Bugatti as you are EVER likely to find for under $30,000". As mentioned earlier in this listing, his car is ALL ALUMINUMconstruction completely hand riveted and more than 300 hand punched intake and exhaust "breathing louvers" on the bonnet and the body of the Bugatti which aesthetically makes this rare "build" quite impressive and authentic. This Bugatti T-35 Grand Prixtribute is very unusual in many respects as it was constructed about 35 years ago but was never used as a driver, nly exhibition and car shows. The very powerful six cylinder inline DATSUN 2 ZXmotor runs but the two carbs will require a major adjustment as the car sputters and never gets above 1500 RPM's and floods the carbs, know this because the smell of gasoline is quite strong after the car runs for a few minutes and the engine dies when the accelerator pedal is depressed deeply. The steel panels on the car and Bugatti blue paint are in excellent, ike new condition as can be easily seen in the high resolution photographs, nd very easy to determine that this car was neverused for transportation. It in fact has been stored in a garage for 30+ years and hasnever been registered, nddriven less than 20 miles in its lifetime according the builder who built many roadsters and speedsters in his life but only two Bugatti's both of which I now own,and this car has been confirmed was only displayed at car shows,. I am absolutely certain that this Bugatti was never used or driven, ecause when the 45 foot auto transport dropped the Bugatti's off about 3 miles from my home, attempted to drive this car home against the advice of the elderly gentleman who sold me the two Bugatti's. The car started fine but after about driving one mile, he engine started sputtering and the cockpit smelled heavily of gasoline. Also the rear left wheel had a noticeable wobble (possibly from an incorrectly mounted rim) and the steering was very tight, ery similar to the manual strength required to drive Ford Model T, xcept this car is much heavier. And most importantly, ay Leno in his YouTube videos makes a pretty strong statement about how tight the cockpits are in his Bugatti T-35's, nd this car is no exception. The cockpit will have to be extended rearward at the driver's seat because it does not comfortably seat a normal sized man. Adding room to the bench seat should be a fairly straightforward reconfiguration as the body is entirely steel so cuts and welds will be routine adjustments for an expert. As for the overall condition of the car it looks to be in nearly showroom condition with zero signs of wear, n excellent unused condition all around, s difficult as this is to believe for a 35 year old construction. Now if you are looking to buy a beautiful Bugatti T-35 tribute car for your son or daughter's High School Cotillion Ball in few weeks, his isNOT the car for you I must advise. This magnificently constructed legendary Roaring Twenties Bugatti roadster will require the attention of an experienced builder, s this vehicle will need major adjusting, weaking and calibrating as it has NEVER been registered or driven! I am fully aware that this disclosure may turn off many potential buyers but this still relatively brand new 35 year old Bugatti T-35 tribute would benefit (and appreciate in value) greatly in the hands of an experienced collector car mechanic or car builder as this magnificent machine is a diamond in the rough mechanically, esthetically however, he is near FLAWLESS!!. This Bugatti has ONLY been a show car and was featured in its last public showcase at the 2014 Buffalo New York's Autorama with other valuable antique roadsters and speedsters. The elephant radiator mascot might seem kind of whimsical, ut deep Bugatti enthusiasts know that Ettore' Bugatti mascotted his monstrous and elegant Bugatti Royale with an elephant so, his pachydermic tribute only serves to adulate the engineering and aesthetic genius "real genius" of the greatest sports car builder that ever lived!
