New(old)project Dune Buggy
I picked this up in September from the original builder/owner. Can't decide if I should restore it or part it out.
It's a street legal Sand Rover "T" bucket kit built in 1978 with a 1957 VW pan and a 1964 Corvair rear clip, including 110HP flat six with independent rear suspension, and original 2 speed powerglide. Still has the original wheels and red line tires too.(I have all four).Hasn't run in years. Has only 2500 miles on it.

Re: New(old)project Dune Buggy
This is the original color/finish on the dash. Only thing not weather beaten.

Re: New(old)project Dune Buggy
That thing is cool.It's screaming GIANT GOLD boat flake over candy apple red to me.Probably get 25-30 mpg and waaayyyyyy cooler than you could ever make a Honda.
