| Body |
Body is made by JC Fiberglass and is the SandWinder style. It has the original gelcoat finish which is a slightly yellowed white basecoat with red and blue metal flake. It has not been painted and has no breaks or repairs.
|
| Frame |
This buggy is titled as a 1967 VW Beetle so I suppose this is what the shortened frame came off.
|
| Engine |
The engine started as a 1600cc dual port engine but has been bored out and has oversized jugs and a small cam. I'm not sure of the "cc" now. With the chrome dress up and headers, it runs, looks and sounds great.
|
| Status |
I've only owned this buggy for a few weeks. It is driven several times per week, sometimes even to work. However, this winter I'll do some work to the seat, pan, and other miscellaneous items.

| Story |
I looked around for several weeks selecting 2 buggys to travel to look at, this being my second preference. It just worked out that I got to go look at this one first. Glad I did. The pictures in their ad just didn't do it justice. One look/drive and I was hooked.

| Story |
Link to photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gKZwQrMxhqonT3dz7. Bought it from a friend in August 2015 as a rolling chassis. All parts were in boxes. Not running, no wiring. Came with the original canvas top and a 1200 motor and spare 1600. I sold the 1200 and used parts from the 1600 to build the 1641. Put in a new wiring harness, assembled it, added new tires, battery and have been driving it and upgrading it ever since. We have taken it to Pismo, Glamis, Dumont Dunes, as well as many places in the Mojave Desert. It is a blast.
