Hello, I'm John G from Southeast Mass.  The orange buggy is mine from about 15 years ago. I'm not sure exactly what model it was, and I can't seem to find an exact match in the archives.   I sold it to buy another car and I have regretted it ever since.  That dune buggy was more fun to drive than anything I ever owned.  The green buggy body appears to be a Kellison clone.  I picked it up a few months ago and hope to get started on it as soon.[

Looks like a good start for your project John. Good luck

Hey, John.
Glad to hear there is another Mass buggy enthusiast here. One of my buggies is in Westfield, Ma. I know its across the state, but it would be cool to get together once you get her up and running.

Hey John I just sold one with that style, actually he started with a green body that looked just like yours, here is a pic of what it ended up looking like, sorry cant post pic of before the old computer crashed and I lost the before pic, good luck on the build.         Ken..........

Hey John,

Another Western Mass guy here. My buggy is still all wrapped up waiting for its turn to be restored but I have a good amount of parts if you ever need anything.

I try to make it to all the VW shows in the area (Litchfield, Volks-Vair, and one other that slips my mind right now) to get ideas and pick up parts. I have never brought any of my 3 prior buggies....people always seem to buy them before I can even drive them!

Jeffrey, have we met before? I've been good about keeping my buggy contacts in my head, but I might have to start writing it down before long so I don't lose track of the people I've met before.

I haven't made it to Litchfield yet, but hope to make it this year.  I did go to Terryville last year, again without entering a car.  I'll have to make sure I post right before the show, I'd like to meet anyone who is going.  It's nice to put faces with the screen names.

No Jay we haven't met. I guess I am kind of a recluse. Just kidding...

Time is usually a nightmare for me. Between working in central Mass, the commute, my son's sporting events, and trying to get stuff done around the house I am so hit or miss on things its almost impossible to schedule anything.

hey guys - im right outside boston we will have to get together for a run when i get the deserter up and running

Sounds good!
