small tail box may be a Glitterbug, The Tarantula also had a small box and I think the Corsair may as well. Dash design might bring this id home. The Giltterbug usually had emblems but not all of the time (this one does not) |

That is what I am thinking. A late Sears Rascal with the large tail, or a Terra Buggy, who I understand made the Rascal for Sears. _________________ Bad News Racing 2018 NORRA 1000 3rd in Class

Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone |

Did you try Dune Buggy Archives...
http://dunebuggyarchives.com
And as for value, depends on "market" maybe $1000 if its dead, maybe $5-7000 all cleaned up for "show" and derivable...

I'll tell you exactly what it's worth.
It's worth digging out of that pile, cleaning up and driving!
Love the pinstriping!! |

Since there is no air filter on it does the engine turn over? |

Human nature is funny - find something covered in bird c'hit in a barn and dreams of Corvette #1 or Publisher's Clearing House —FOR LIFE— are the first things that come to mind.

Looks like the start of a good project tho'...
