Had this Buggy since 1979

I bought it from the next door neighbor of a friend of fine for $400. It was running and had a 1500cc motor in it then. Over the years I've fixed and upgraded chromed and painted. It now has a 2275 motor with a 48IDF Weber, HD Trans with OD 4th and some other goodies. I'll try and post some old pic's when it was closer to "original" when I dig them out. This is it in it's present stage. I'm not sure who made the body, maybe some of you know. It has real HD round glassed in wire runways on either side of the body.











Here's a couple of pictures from the early '80's right when I was taking off the body to paint.

Getting a little buggy smooching during one of our parties at SDSU 1982 ish. Pretty much how the buggy came for $400. The motor ran for another 20 years till I took it out and replaced it with the big motor. It still ran fine too. Sold it to my neighbor in San Diego and he put it in his buggy that came without a motor.

very nice pictures, they tell the typical dune buggy story over the years including the last one, that all male buggy owners understand.
