X-Files - Un-identified Fiberglass Buggies Registry

Finally! A place to register your X-File Buggy. If you don't know the manufacturer of your buggy, add it to the "New X-Files" registry with some identification thumbnails. Once we get two or more identical buggies, we will create a unique registry for those entries and add them to the ID process. If we get a positive ID, the entries will move to the appropriate mfg registry

X-0003 Registry

X-0003 has a wide ridge running up the center of the hood with a large oval bump on the very front for an emblem. The front fenders are flat. The tail is a classic box.

Unknown

x-0003-2

X-0004 Registry

X-0004 has a large oval opening in the front of the hood reminding us of a Cobra. The rest of the hood is smooth. Fenders are standard flat in the front and the tail has a large box with rounded sides. It could be called a double box as there is a faint outline of a second box.

X-0005 Registry

X-0005 has headlights built into the front of the fenders, an opening hood and a flip up tail. The center of the dash extends all the way down to the original tunnel.

'63 buggy

X-0006 Registry

X-0006 is reportedly a 3 seater - 2 up front and room for one in the back. The dash looks unique in that it has a rectangular center section that seems lower than most.

58 3 steater dune buggy

X-0007 Registry

X-0007 has a unique hood with a rib that goes halfway up but then flares out into a big V shaped "scoop" but it's not a scoop.

The rear fenders are very distinctive and lack any kind of ridge between the fender and the inner body.

This may be a Fiber Jet Rough Terrain.

V nose Flat Rear

X-0008 Registry

Looks like it had a flat dashboard and has the gas tank fiberglassed under the hood. The hood is part of the body. Also back of buggy body comes down very low and has a door to gain access to the engine .

manx style ?

X-0009 Registry

This buggy has square fenders and a flip up tail. The hood is missing on the first example, so no details are available on it.

unknown 62

X-0010 Registry

This buggy has the basic Manx styling. From the pictures, I think I can make out a badge like bump on the hood. It has a very wide and shallow tail box. It has a unique square custom made fuel tank and the area under the hood reflects this (as opposed to a standard VW tank opening). It also looks like the hood can be removed while leaving the dash attached to the body. This could be a feature of the buggy or something the original owner decided to do.

Red buggy

X-0011 Registry

looks a bit like a Lido or a Bertram Fiberglass with the curved fenders and mouth part to the hood, but the top hood patterns are both different than Unknown Yellow Buggy.

UnkownYellow Buggy

X-0012 Registry

The keys to look at on this body are the seat bottom area. It is completely flat no tool, or tire well or battery box. Also the rear seat back area above the tail. Very wide like a Spatz rear. The EAST COAST laws required full engine coverage after 1970. The low sides should be a clue to.

The molded fiberglass dash is often found on cheaper bodies as they just pulled a copy of the ABS dash but couldn't make one of ABS in the boat shop they

Another unique feature of the body you didn't mention that may help with identification is the rear deck/shelf area behind the rear seat. Much bigger and flatter than a Manx.

Look closely and you'll notice the sides are too low to be a exact clone.

X-0013 Registry

X-0013 has a unique hood with a single narrow ridge that melds into a badge bump on the very nose. The bump is round on the bottom with straight sides and a point on the top where it meets the ridge. The rest of the body resembles a Manx.

X-0015 Registry

Here's a buggy with a distinctive hood (single ridge, pointed in the front) and unique tail box that raises up above the back end.

X-0015

X-0016 Registry

A classic buggy here with a single ridge on the hood, a license plate area down below, flat fenders, and a tail box. A number of buggies are similar, but it looks closest to a Kellison Sandpiper Roadste.

X-0017 Registry

Waiting for pictures from Corey.

X-0017

X-0020 Registry

The X-0020 looks a lot like a Dunbar Mini-Volks.

The only difference is the dash. The Minivolks dash is angled toward the driver. The X-0020 buggy (whatever it is... Possibly another Ranger {not the Ranger we have in the system though} has a dash that is perpendicular to the ground... Almost perfectly vertical. Also, the center portion of the X-0020 dash bulges out toward the driver. It appears the MiniVolks is completely flat.

X-0020 #1

X-0021 Registry

This buggy looks very similar to a SandPiper Pickup except for the back of the rear fenders (chopped off instead of flipping up) and the sides of the fenders (which come down further).

X-0022 Registry

X-0022 is a classic 2 piece buggy with a pretty smooth hood with headlight buckets right in the front. Round fenders, a tail box and a flat dash finish off this buggy

X-0023 Registry

This looks a lot like a Sand Rover, but the hood is totally different. The square windshield frame and scoop look like a Sand Rover T buggy.

X-0024 Registry

"Spy versus Spy" buggy - it has an Ocelot front but a lot pointier and the tail is a lot more cut off. This may be somebody's version of an Ocelot. It has a very pointed nose.

X-0025 Registry

This looks very similar to a BCBee, but the hood is of a different style. The tail is very similar to a BCBee with the flat, slightly curved apron around the engine and the wide flat area between the back seat and the a

X-0026 Registry

This buggy turned up on the sand dunes over here in Australia - Any one have any idear what this might be Its left hand drive and is a monoque design. Runs a fiberglass fuel tank in the front (it leaks now) Submitted by Mike S.

X-0027 Registry

This t-buggy comes to us from North Carolina. Its similar to the Action Roadster and Berry Mini-T, but has a very unique ridge around the front fender areas, a different look to the running boards and a different style of ridge on the hood.

X-0028 Registry

This t-buggy has high front fenders, a huge grill opening and a slight ridge running up the hood.

unknown t buggy

X-0030 Registry

This buggy was made by Marcas Fiberglass, Atwater CA. It has a unique pair of hood scoops with a raised ridge between the scoops that extends past the rest of the hood. The tail box raises up above the rest of the tail.

X-0030

X-0031 Registry

This buggy looks a lot like X-0003 with identical dash and hood, but the tail is very different. It may be called a Kansas City Clipper, but we do not have confirmation on that.

Gregg Rippel

X-0032 Registry

The X-0032 is most likely a European buggy body. It has a tail box, the engine covered for Euro-requirements, headlights in the fenders, and a hood scoop.

Turbo_Peter

X-0033 Registry

X-0033 may be a buggy manufactured by Bermoco. It has a hood very similar to an EMPI Imp. The fenders are missing the standard headlight stand offs. The tail has a very slight tail box while the dash is all fiberglass and it is integral with the hood.

X-0034 Registry

X-0034 has a unique hood with a ridge, a diamond and two spurs coming off the diamond. The mounts for the headlights may be of Dunbar design.

X-0035 Registry

For the X-0035, the hood looks like a Spatz but the rest is way different. The step in the side is very unique. Spatz style flat topped rear fenders and tail box are like a Spatz...but those sides are certainly NOT Spatz.

X-0036 Registry

This buggy looks a lot like a Sand Dancer Brougham T, but it has a double tail box.

Not sure what I have

X-0038 Registry

This buggy has a Model T hood with almost a Schwimmerwagon tail. A prop would be right at home on the engine cover. The dash looks like a Dolphin Industries design.
