Just got it today..... 1835 with a progressive. Custom Transaxle 4:86 rear. 2000lb kennedy clutch. Sides were custom done by the PO, a guy who built his own experimental aircraft (with a 2332 engine). He does mad fiberglass work. Check out the winshield/roll bar and front headlights. He lowered the back seat and installed an aircraft battery. Everything has been redone from the ground up. CNC turning brakes. new wheel cylinders and master cylinder. New seats on custom frames. New wiring... very neat and precise. It runs like a dream (soon to change out the vacuum advance Dizzy), drives like a race car, and looks like a million dollars.
BTW...... it's for sale.

Very slick, and I'm sure a 2000+cc motor oughta make a short-wheelbase buggy scoot. btw, if anyone asks what buggy it is, that body was referred to as an "El Lobo."

JSC (Johnnies Speed and Chrome) also offered an El-Lobo copy. I like the El-Lobo buggy. It's different. The PO did a good job on the side pods.
