[QUOTE="mattvogt"]i WILL PASS AS YOU SAY. THANKS[/QUOTE] Matt, Where are you located? There are lots of buggies on TheSamba.Com in all ranges of price. If you were looking for something real unique at at a good price, in Arizona there is a Glitterbug which is mounted on a custom floorpan that uses Corvair running gear. Its just $400 and very cool. Dollar per horsepower, Corvair engines are still a bargain. I have to say though, it wouldn't be a good project for a beginner. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=242729

This one looks like it might be a real bargain at $3800 to $4800. The guy says its a Manx 2, but the dash looks ABS and doesn't have a point at the bottom center, so I'd say it looks like an original 67-70 Meyers Manx. The big question is: Does it have a tag? If it does, its a steal. The body has a few extra holes that need to be filled and a paint job, but it looks mechanically excellent. It even has Type 3 rear brakes. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=218273

There are (basicly) two types of fiberglass bodies - Corvettes with V8s and F/G Buggies with 4 cyl HO (please, no cracks from those that use Subrs, I am just trying to make a point) This thing is a very poor imitation of BOTH!!!! Is is a poor man's Vette or a another man's buggy? But we must remember, somewhere this buggy has a maker, and that maker is proud of the work. Its kinda like "but his mother loves him".
