| Story |
I bought this from a US Marine stationed in Paris Island, SC. It was in pieces and in very rough shape. It didn't run. The original paint/gelcote was flaking off and faded, the pan had no floors, etc. It needed everything! If it looks new, it probably is or rebuilt. I did everything myself and painted in my garage. It took about 15 months to do this in my spare time.

| Story |
This Allison was firstborn in September of 1969. My friend and I built this buggy for his mother when we were just 19 and worked at the local VW dealer Bell Auto Sales. His dad owned the VW dealership. It was originally purple metal flake with black striping. She (his mom) drove it for more than 30 years until her husband traded it for a pop-up camper! I believe it passed through two additional owners for a short time until I recovered in in 2005. The owner was driving it through town with a for sale sign on it, my wife and I chased him down and bought it on the spot! Once we started the restoration it took about 18 months to restore/rebuild. The only parts original to the Allison are the rollbar, body and original Allison nameplate. Every other part has been upgraded or replaced. Nothing of the original chassis or interior is present. It was reborn in spring of 2007.

I feel in love with the shriners Allisons as a young man when my dad bought a spatz from a shriner, Mr Bowers was selling the Spatz to get a new Allison as all the shriners in town wanted there buggys to match for the parades and compititions, The ones in my home town were all red metal flake with white interior but I could never get my hand on one of them, This one came up for sale in Memphis Tenn, I am the 4 th owner and the first to ever own it that wasnt a Shriner,I also got the original order form from Allison that came with the car when it was new, I love driving and showing my Allison Shriners Dune Buggy !!!

This buggy has been sitting in a garage since 1982. It has 12k miles and is all original. It has been sitting so long the cylinders had an inch of rust scale in them, brake and gas pedal were siezed and floor pans were rusted. I have no idea the year of this or how to read the VIN? on this buggy, I have the body off the frame and installing new pans. I should have it ready by spring 2011

This buggy has been in my family since the 70's. My father built it at his business, a VW specialty shop. It was built for a customer, but he soon bought it back. I remember riding around in it as a little kid, thinking it was the coolest car ever! It has been off the road since '82, and sat outside for almost 20 years. I haven't told my father I'm restoring it. I want to surprise him with the finished car this summer! Can't wait to see his reaction! The secret is killing me, but it will be worth it to see the look on his face when I pull up his driveway.
