I bought it in Peach land the guy's name is Don heres a link if it works  http://www.dunebuggiescanada.com/ (http://www.dunebuggiescanada.com/) I had it at the last Great Canadian at AVR's booth. I've changed the dash and cut the big old box that goes over the carb off.

Post by: Brassmonkey on March 26, 2007, 10:23:41 PM

Only $1799, I thought it was a good price and the guy that builds malabu boats in Vernon builds the bodies so you know its done right.
