      <![CDATA[the offer I made that day was $250 and it was refused. If I were to buy this body I would build a tube frame to take all Corvair running gear and front suspension.I&#39;m trying to find drawings or measurements and photos of the old Connfer or JC Whitney tube frames. If anyone within 100 miles of 06255 has a cheap body and windshield for any style shortened buggy or &quot;kit car&quot; let me know just email&#160; ( hammerman35&quot;at&quot;juno.com ) directly. For me building the frame would be the easy part I&#39;ve never worked with fiberglass so body stuff is my drawback. because I can&#39;t use a clutch anymore due to a bad leg I need to retain the Corvairs automatic trans. If I go with a &quot;kit car&quot; it is going to be a daily driver I&#39;m also looking into electric power but being in N.E. Ct. there is the issue of a heater!<br/>Leon]]>

      <![CDATA[Have you seen this Dune Buggy or know of its whereabouts? <br/><br/>$$$$$$$ Finders Fee Offered $$$$$$$$ <br/><br/>I am the original builder of this beauty. It is built using a 1965 Bug pan and a Sand Puppy Body. It was last seen in SE Michigan and may still be in the area. It may still have the original 1200 VW single port engine. The original color was metallic silver with ice blue custom paint on the hood. VDO gauges, speedometer, fuel and volt meter. Chrome wheels with moon caps. It also has 1968 Chevy Nova tail lights. <br/><br/>If you know where this Dune Buggy is or even own it. Please contact me. I would like to buy it back and will pay fair market value. <br/><br/>E-mail me at motorhead_43206@yahoo.com]]>
