I spoke to someone at the Englishtown NJ show and they said a parts dealer has them. I can't seem to find one anywhere. I really want to build my daughter her own dunebuggy. I would love to have a vintage rupp ruppster, but they are a needle in a haystack.

Found this one on Ebay this week.

I emailed the seller, and she says her reserve is $75.

I offered her 300 if she would take it to a shipping co. or just let the shipper pick it up. she said no. pick up only. what a fool.

Someone at the bugout was selling brand new ones. I can't remember who. I'm sure someone else here knows. I think the body was 200 and the frame if you wanted it was 100. They were small, kid size.

Berrien sells a go-kart body that's an exact replica of their buggy body.

Berrien carried them at one time but that was a few years ago. Unsure if they still do.

Mofco bodies were mfg. by Berrien back in the late 90's early 00's, past that point I am unsure but more than likely still the same.

I contacted Berrien and they said they did, but no longer make them. Lack of sales.

What is Mofco?? I googled it and din't find anything. Must be rare, google never let's me down.

Ok ,
The ''Bronco'' buggy that is on ebay was made by Spatz (I am fairly sure of this.) If you notice it is basically a mini Spatz.
BugStuff sells a copy of this body. I saw them at Maple Grove last Sunday and at Manassas two weeks prior. BugStuff attends many of the northeast shows. Yes he also has a frame to go with it. I can't remember the name he calls it - mini buggy or some such. I'll get pics at the next show.
Bug Stuff also sells a Boss Bug copy as well as side pods for it. (FYI)
I am also certain they will be at the Punch Buggy NJ show on the 25.

I bought the frame Jack brought to the bugout for a Bronco body I have.
I am hoping to make a mini like the cokebuggy.

There is some talk of a kit being produced in the SC underground.

I'll keep you posted.
