Jeff, I have no idea what that is but the first thought through my head was a bit of nose restyling. I was thinking perhaps a rework based on the stylized '40 Ford styling of the old Wunderbug hood kit.
My wife just walked by... you don't want to hear what she just said about it.  |

Any ideas? It's definitely not a Deserter S1.
I bought it 6 years ago and just started working on it seriously for the last year. I had to redo the untire pan, building a 2x1 frame around the perimeter. I just built the roll bar. It's not perfect, but I like it.

I hate to mention another site but BUGGY ARCHIVES have a section for just this problem. I have a friend that's also looking into what his buggy is, I found it was 1 of 3=buggy masters,manx monocoque, and my nephew owns a Ocelot, and my other cousin has a bush buggy or corsair |

Can anyone narrow down what this one is?
I looked through the whole DBA list and narrowed it down but I'm sure I'm paying attention to details that don't matter and ignoring those that do.
I thought it could potentially be one of the following:
Beettle
Bird
Irwin Manx
Kellison Sandpiper Roadster
Nostalgia
It happens to be listed for sale in the Phx. CL ads currently. |

|
|
I picked this up around the Springfield Missouri area for 200 dollars a couple of weeks ago. Can anyone help identify this buggy? Looked over the Database and nothing matches the nose on this thing which I believe to be the tell tale feature.
Any help would be appreciated.
The guy I bought it off of said he had to buy the whole barn full of "junk" to get what he wanted for his motorcycle. Two Hundred to get started on a buggy sounded like a deal to me. |

A good friend and I both have buggy fever he bought this unidentified buggy for 400 with chassis.
We have both poured over the database trying to find similar bodies. There always seems to be a difference, no battery box, different dash, spare tire... on and on.
Any help on identifying this one would be appreciated.
The I.D. tag is a Florida issued body tag it was last registered in Florida in 2004. |
