  • Solid and sound car. It has been a labor of love with countless hours invested. This car was purchased by my father in 1974 and has been in our family since then. I have had it since 1994 and just finished the build, but bought a big V8 4 seat desert car and need to make room. Too many toys. Beautiful car well worth checking out. I’ll be sad when it drives away. This car was not built to sell it was built to keep.

thanks again! 🥳
Lots of wonderful family memories in that buggy Tyler. Of course, it was just a dune buggy then. Now it is a pristine piece of work. We wish many great memories, forthcoming, for you and your family.
