It's not a EMPI or a Stevens. But I've researched and cannot find what it is.
Please help identify! Thank you so much!

I don't think I've ever seen that particular styled body but it is very cool. I see a real steering column mount (rare in a buggy body) and an unusual choice of where to split the body design to make a buggy that could be pulled out of its molds. I would encourage you to build it up and enjoy your unique buggy! _________________

It's a fiberglass Dune Buggy. There were literally hundreds of different types and variations made. It doesn't matter who made it or what it is called. Make up any name that sounds cool and nobody will know any different.
Build it, enjoy it, and cruise it. Wave at the girls as you drive it. _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK

In my view the only time identifying make is of any real value is if it is an actual Manx. Then it effects what the finished car is worth. The thousands of copies that are out there are worth much less. The manufactures of all of these Buggies are long gone too so it's not like you need to know what it is to order parts.
It is interesting to know of course... _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit. (The mass media age) |
