New(old)project Dune Buggy
 

I picked this up in September from the original builder/owner. Can't decide if I should restore it or part it out.
It's a street legal Sand Rover "T" bucket kit built in 1978 with a 1957 VW pan and a 1964 Corvair rear clip, including 110HP flat six with independent rear suspension, and original 2 speed powerglide. Still has the original wheels and red line tires too.(I have all four).Hasn't run in years. Has only 2500 miles on it.

Don't part it that thing would be a blast to drive in the summer.

Part it out? You can't be serious! Rebuild it!

This is the original color/finish on the dash. Only thing not weather beaten.

thats pretty cool car espesially with the corvair drivetrain/// i'd do a mild lodollar makeover and use it have fun and save gas money all at the same time// just dont get carried away with it from the ones i see down here no matter how nice they dont go for alot of money if you decide to sell
