| Story |
It's supposed to be the "get in and go" buggy, but many years later, we are still trying to perfect it. Fuel injection should be the trick.
It was bought as the substitute buggy for The Imp while the Subaru transplant took place. It now doubles as a jungle gym and troop transporter for sand boarding runs.

| Story |
My dad built this buggy in 1970. Dad built it "on the cheap" using the original 36hp engine. After he passed away, I acquired the buggy. Being the gearhead that I am and wanting more horsepower, I started a rebuild in 1980. With family obligations and moving around the country to chase employment, I finally finished the project for Fathers Day 2005.
