I posted a picture of your buggy over at Dune-Buggy.com. If anyone is able to identify it, these guys will. Looks similar to an Ocelot, but I dunno.
Here's the link. I'm 'Eric' over there.

I could be wrong, but it just looks like a generic Manx clone, to me. |

If the back end/rear apron of your buggy almost covers the engine (provided it hasn't been cut), I believe your Wildcat buggy was built by Kar Manufacturing of Monson, Massachusetts in the late 60's/early 70's. Also, the fenders have a distict bulge to allow a wider tire. Kar also made a more traditional Manx style, a short and long Mini -T style, and 3 variations on a Camaro. They are long since out of business, but that is probably what you have. If you have any more photos, I would like to see them. By the way - UncleBob says hello.... |
