I searched five minutes... the 'scoop' in hood suggests to me that you look at a Spoiler buggy from Desert Fox.

People 
Looked at the buggy... Looked so much better in the pictures... some parts now off the buggy, said windshield needed to be replaced. I could hardly see a crack in the photo, it was SMASHED. Roll bar did not fit and did not have any mounts in front... so on and so on... fug! For a $1,000 and not running I thought no big deal, get it too 700-800, and I have a motor for it... honestly would not take it for 100... so disappointed and that's 40 min of my time lost for ever

A $ 1000.00 buggy is not much of a buggy to start with. Don't expect much if that is your spending goal.

Everyone is gifted. Some just do not open the package.
Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone |

Last I checked, a decent body, shortened pan with suspension and maybe some break parts was worth $1000.

I gave $700 for a body and roller pan... Needed engine, seats, wiring, windshield, paint....
$1000 if most everything is there ( less engine) and body needs little work and floor pans are decent is not a bad deal...

The point being I wasn't looking for another project (have 2 already not counting 2 rooms in the house under attack) It looked like a great deal in the photos and I was amped up to see it (me and so many others according to the seller) The previous 2 people that saw right before me also walked away.
It was the fact the pictures did not match what I saw. It did not help it had a flat tire and was shoved up against the side of the house either so I couldn't walk around it. Unlike the pictures in the ad taken at another place before the buyer moved here.
