Check out this body with flat tail. Is the cutout for the engine to poke through?

How about this one? Is that a Manx SR? It looks like it, but I don't recall the SR being that short?

First buggy - yes, the engine shows through since it's a truck style rear. The second buggy is a Concept One. Manx SR's have the scissor doors - these don't.

The first one is a Glitterbug, same as I had. They were meant for a T3 motor that fit under the deck. they also had the largest rear fenders of any buggy i've seen. You can TUCK 315s under the back end. My friend now has my old body and runs low 12s with it at the strip.

In a particular it's a glitterbug sportsman pickup (I might just have one :lol: )

The hood however I don't think is original. A type 1 engine fits in there just fine, they originally came with a cover for the engine and a rear "tailgate". Like Brad mentioned the rear fenders are huge, I have 245's with 1" spacers and it still looks goofy
