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 E UNIQUE ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITY1927 BUGATTI T-35 ROADSTER TRIBUTESHOW CAR N E V E R R E G I S T E R E D O R D R I V E N TITLED AS A 1980 NISSAN SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION Those ebayers who know and appreciate the inimitable Bugatti marque will undoubtedly recognize the superb quality of this completely hand built, very impassioned ALL-STEEL bodied Bugatti 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, this car is ALL STEEL construction 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 tribute is very unusual in many respects as it was constructed about 35 years ago but was never driven. The very powerful six cylinder inline Nissan motor runs but the two carbs will require a major adjustment as the car sputters and never gains full RPM's and floods the carbs, I 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 is depressed deeply. The steel panels on the car and Bugatti blue paint are in excellent, like new condition as can be easily seen in the high resolution photographs, and very easy to determine that this car was never used for transportation. It in fact has been stored in a garage for 30+ years and has never been registered, and driven 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, because when the 45 foot auto transport dropped the Bugatti's off about 3 miles from my home, I 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, the 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, very similar to the manual strength required to drive Ford Model T, except this car is much heavier. And most importantly, Jay Leno in his YouTube videos makes a pretty strong statement about how tight the cockpits are in his Bugatti T-35's, and 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, in excellent unused condition all around, as 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, this is NOT the car for you I must advise. This magnificently constructed legendary Roaring Twenties Bugatti roadster will require the attention of an experienced builder, as this vehicle will need major adjusting, tweaking 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) greatly in the hands of an experienced collector car mechanic or car builder as this magnificent machine is a diamond in the rough, however new and unused. 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, but deep Bugatti enthusiasts know that Ettore' Bugatti mascoted his monstrous and elegant Bugatti Royale with an elephant so, this pachydermic tribute only serves to adulate the engineering and aesthetic genius "real genius" of the greatest car builder that ever lived! My car is located in Key West, Florida zip code 33040 and I can fully arrange expeditious and fully insured shipping to any location in the United States for about $0.67 per mile I can also arrange fully insured shipping to any destination in the world. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WELCOME. Do not hesitate to email with trade inquiries or reasonable offers. Thank you for reading.

VERY AESTHETICALLY CORRECT ETTORE BUGATTI TRIBUTEAFTER 1927 BUGATTI T-35B BOARD TRACK RACER IN REMARKABLY PRESERVED CONDITION Over the years I have become quite fond of the very sleek and high profile Bugatti T-35 replicas or "Tributes" as I like to call them. So fond in fact, that I have purchased more than a dozen Bugatti Replica's in the past 3 years (all that I could find) and I have always had an absolute blast driving and being noticed in them and the demand is always high for such unusually styled, open cowl roadsters at affordable prices, and the supply will always be low as successful litigation of exotic car companies like Ferrari and Lamborghini has put the replica car fabricators out of business making it "ILLEGAL" to now manufacture cars "after" designs by established car companies, including Bugatti. With the many replicas that I have owned over the years I have lost money on just 1 car ($1200), and that was because I had over invested $17,000 in aesthetic upgrades in that particular Bugatti and a very attractive automotive acquisition opportunity presented itself and I prematurely bailed out of that car investment. But for the most part, I have never failed to realize a very handsome profit in resale, even in the short term (less than two weeks) as these cars are aggressively sought out by economically minded sports car enthusiasts looking for a very reasonable and enjoyable automotive investment without the worry of compromising a very valuable or historic car. And of course the biggest upside to this type of collector car ownership/enjoyment is the inexpensive repairs and overnight availability of any VW part from big box automobile parts retailers like ADVANCE, NAPA OR AUTOZONE. Just worry free motoring!! One very interesting indicator as to the increasing popularity of well designed tribute cars is the fact that just 3 years ago the eBay replica car category used to average 250-300 vehicle listings at any given time, now you are very lucky to have a selection of more than 75 vehicle offerings in this very popular automotive consumer category. Five to seven years ago I used to find unbelievably sweet deals on Bugatti replicas for under $5000, but trust me when I tell you that those days are gone FOREVER! Now the big vintage collector auto malls aggressively pursue and buy these well constructed "tribute"cars sight unseen and market them for close to $20,000 as the secondary collector car market has appreciated exponentially along with other investment grade automobiles. And if you are doubting that the vintage/replica car market is on fire, just get on You Tube and look up Jay Leno's Garage and you will find the the super-wealthy Jay Leno has 11 replica's (3 of them Bugatti T-35's) in his $80 million car collection. Now of course the quality of Jay Leno's replica's far exceed the quality of the replica Bugatti's that I am offering in this listing but the motive is the same, there is a great deal of value/investment potential in beautifully built and meticulously appointed automotive "knockoffs". Please keep in mind that a genuine Bugatti T35-B would cost well over $2 million and 99% of the people have never seen a real Bugatti so they just assume that you are "swimming in cash". The pretty girls get "quite chatty" when you pull up at stop signs and they feel very comfortable just hopping right into your car to click a "selfie". And if you don't mind attention, then you won't believe what this "Blue Bullet" will do for your popularity and social life! This superbly detailed and completely restored Bugatti replica has undergone a complete and professional engine and transmission rebuild with an all new braking system including new master cylinder, durable powder coated 19" period correct Model T wheels and tires ($2500) brand new, properly functioning interior gauges. This Bugatti T-35 B is as as authentic looking as any Volkswagen chassis Bugatti you are likely to find anywhere (the only aesthetic improvement consideration this car requires is large 10" or 12" headlights as the 1927 Bugatti's originally had. These 7" headlights are a bit small). The paint and decals are flawless with a new $500 custom made button down All Weather-Tonneau Cover. My car has never been kept outdoors as even the genuine leather bonnet straps are like new and never exposed to the sun or rain. This car is in excellent condition for a 40+ year old collector car, bottom to top you WILL NOT find a better Bugatti "Tribute" for under $20,000 as this car is in near showroom condition and aesthetically very authentic looking and THAT MATTERS!! My car is stored indoors and under cover in a climate controlled building in West Branch, Iowa zip code 52358 and I will be incurring storage expenses beginning June 1, so I would like to have this very high quality Bugatti sold and removed certainly within 2 weeks. If this is not possibly then storage fees will necessarily apply starting on the first of next month. Please check my feedback as I bend over backwards to guarantee a pleasant and accurately represented vintage car buying experience. Three of my rare collector automobiles listed on eBay two weeks ago I personally negotiated and sold to the largest and wealthiest car museum in the country Evergreen Historic Automobiles owned by the Jay Leno of the American midwest, Mr. Steve Plaster. This fabulous Bugatti T35-B "Tribute" is in EXCELLENT condition all the way around, nearly show quality and curated and maintained by a professional vintage car restoration company. Buy with confidence. Please email with any questions and offers for trades up, down or sideways as I consider all asset class barter transactions full or partial, and I oftentimes give steep discounts on all aggressive cash offers on my cars. Thank you for reading. Fully insured shipping for this vehicle anywhere in the country is very inexpensive, about .55 cents per mile to your driveway, and takes about one week! I can arrange EVERYTHING. I will be listing one of my other exceptionally conditioned authentic Bugatti T-35 "Tributes" tomorrow evening on eBay (see below) for $9,900 obo.

The pretty girls get "quite chatty" when you pull up at stop signs and they feel very comfortable just hopping right into your car to click a "selfie". And if you don't mind attention, then you won't believe what dosage this "Popularity Pill" will do for your exposure and social life! This excellently preserved Bugatti T-35 replica is over 40 years old and has had very little use in that time having been stored indoors and/or under cover it's entire life and it shows. The vehicle is in superb original condition and is practically free of blemishes, dents and wear and has ALWAYS been owned by a woman and driven very delicately and pampered for 40 years. There was a recent administrative change of ownership and the interior carpet had to be pulled up from the gear shifting console and floor to verify the VIN number by Florida DMV administrators so the carpet will again need to be glued down to the floor or perhaps need to be changed as it is faded and weathered, other than that the interior is excellent and everything works as it should. For those who are familiar with the Bugatti replicas, the cockpit can be configured to fit to any size driver but if a change is required, then adjustable brackets located within the "boat tail" must be unscrewed and adjusted to accommodate a taller driver. In this case, this Bugatti was "fitted" for a woman. I have included detailed photos of the "thumb screw" adjustment bracket mechanism inside the boat tail to give an idea of how this letting out or "lengthening" of the cockpit is accomplished. The body of the car is perfect and I have no expertise in mechanics and/or drilling into the fiberglass body and certainly do not want to put extra holes and ruin aesthetically this otherwise perfect fiberglass body. Please understand that the cockpit is very tight for a man of 6" and will need to be adjusted by the new owner if a larger seating capacity is desired as this adjustment is fairly straightforward and simple but will require drilling four new holes into the fiberglass body for the bracket adjustment if an extensive increase in cockpit area but a thumbscrew will allow for smaller adjustments. (please see adjustment pictures in listing). The powder coated 19" Model A rims and newer period correct tires is a $3500 upgrade and makes the car look very antique and aesthetically correct. This Bugatti T-35 B is as authentic looking as any Volkswagen chassis Bugatti you are likely to find anywhere (the only aesthetic improvement consideration this roadster could benefit from is larger 10" or 12" headlights, as the 1927 Bugatti's originally had. These 7" headlights are a bit small). The paint is perfect but will require buffing and/or polishing if you desire a high quality shine, or you can leave it with its original 40 year old patina. The car is also professionally outfitted and comes with a red $500 custom made button down All Weather-Tonneau Cover. As can be seen in the photographs, the leather bonnet straps have been detached (but included for refitting measurements) and will cost about $95 each to re manufacture (any belt maker can do this and two bonnet or hood straps are required). This car is in excellent condition for a 40+ year old collector car and the superbly preserved condition is easily discernible from the photographs provided with no grit or grime on the motor or undercarriage as this car was NOT cleaned or sprayed at all, this is how it emerged from an extended stay in indoor storage. I have clear title in hand. This particular Bugatti (I have several at this time) is stored beneath a carport in central Florida near Merritt Island, Florida and not exposed to the elements and will need to be removed with two weeks and I can fully arrange for door to door shipping to any location in the country for about .55 per mile (55 cents per mile) or the car can be picked up from its present location by the new owner. Please check my feedback as I bend over backwards to guarantee a pleasant and accurately represented vintage car buying experience.
