I think that was the same buggy that was in the Bow Wow store in Surrey. Not sure who owns it though.

OK Guys.

I went and saw it. I wish I could but having my 66 not sold, kind of killed my chances.

This is the real deal and those of you thinking about playing the baja game should save your self some money and see this machine before you order all the stuff you will need.

It has the wheels, the IRS trany with a low gear set inside, the seats and four point harnesses, the adjustable front end, steering brakes, and a 1910cc, 40mm2v Delorto carb,counterweighted crank,lightened flywheel.

What can i say, I felt for it but since I will need a daily driven, i can not buy it and modify it because I do not have the money and I personally feel it would be crime to do so.

Best of luck.

Hi name is Gary.

His home number is 604-599-9477

Here is the info:

Transmission is IRS with a low gear set inside. This car has steering brakes, bikini top, tow bar , balanced crank in a 1910 cc engine with a lightened flywheel, HD clutch, speed shifter, VDO guages, tach, nice wheels and tires, adjustable seats, four point harnesses, fuel shut-off, fuel pressure regulator, bosch 009 distributor, skid pan. I can't remember all the info in the add but there is so many little things that have been done to it to make it special.
 Please respond to gamika@shaw.ca reference dune buggy.

I almost did it.

Hope that helps.
