Title: Does any body have a Dune Buggy ? Post by: ute on August 11, 2020, 04:01:47 PM Thinking of getting one
With this info................. Any advice ..what to look for Selling dune buggy in excellent working condition. Engine is 1641cc and has less than 500km on new pistons rings and cylinders. Completely disassembled and rebuilt floors/frame, all new wiring. Beautiful aluminum slot rims. Great fun to drive! Have ownership in my name. The bad... the paint isn't great, there a many flaws. Not currently licensed on the road but can test drive nearby. Rear seats have no seat belts attached. Have the belts though and are included. The body is called a "Hunter" which is modelled after a buggy in the Thomas Crown Affair 1968 Steve McQueen film - it misses on several marks there but interesting nonetheless.

Thanks for the reminder. [evil] Title: Re: Does any body have a Dune Buggy ? Post by: Speeddog on August 12, 2020, 07:09:43 AM Says rebuilt floors/frame, I think rust is a major issue to look for.
Not many parts in total, but some replacements may be difficult to find. As long as you're not in a big hurry, it looks fine! Title: Re: Does any body have a Dune Buggy ? Post by: ute on August 12, 2020, 02:38:17 PM Thanks Guys
Yes the Manx body style is the classic ..but it demands the big bucks ..especially up here in Canada Title: Re: Does any body have a Dune Buggy ?
