The wider fenders and the ridge down the centre of the hood make it look a lot like a Fibretech Glitterbug, but the spoiler on the rear is different. So what it is, I can't tell you. Regardless of what it is and I do hope that you identify it, what is important is that you now have a buggy. If you need any help about anything no matter how trivial it my semm to you, ask us here and we will do our best to help you.

the guy i purchased from called it a speckle bug. but i haven't found any pics of them. so the glidderbug would probabbly be close, Im just concerned about ordering a windsheild, i want to make sure it will fit.

Sparklebug, Glitterbug, it makes no difference when ordering a windshield. Measure the dash from side to side, and order one. If they don't have one to fit your exact dimensions, it's better to order one a tad bigger than smaller. It's easier to bend the windshield mounting posts IN than it is to stretch them.

Just add $6,000 and 600 hours and it won't really matter who made the tub..............................

Luckily im a multi talented person, Certified welder, Machinist, Electrician, and ran a small auto body shop for a few years, so costs shouldn;t be too bad.

Sad part is, it looks like the $24,000 supercrew, will have to set outside in the snow all winter, while this tub takes up the garage.

Could your body be from these guys? Sahara Dune Buggy
