PURPLE POTATO CHIP......that has to be the coolest of them all!!! Corvair power. long wheel base and even touna cover!!!!
i agree very cool buggy That thing is RIDICULAS. Mid mounted corvair engine, open headers, and motor bike front wheels God I want to drive it  I saw that pic a while back and it seems fairly resent - does anyone know if its still about?  Me and my friend Rob at east coast buggies have always dreamed of moulding a new manx body in metalflake with the "purple potato chip" design, it would take some work but we've worked it all out and it would be soooooo worth it Also Martin if you need some help building that project - I'm always up for some "bleeding knuckle" fun   Also does anyone know why it has that name? |

gold 65 you can do a buggy and one of that fiat multipla and a buggy in only one car!!!!!! in the sixties actually a famous italian coachbuilder named GHIA made a group of beach cars named JOLLY series we had fiat 500 and 600, 600 multiplas, autobianchi biachina, and even volkswagen beetle jolly. recipe was easy..they just cut away roofs and doors giving a true cool beach style with chrome tubes and sun tent and basket wire seats. colours were cool....in italy they called beach cars... only one multipla jolly was built ithink ( rose body ) but it is possible to do a replica!!!!!!! |

here in italy there is not so much space to go on the sand with cars......theorically there is no space at all!!!!!!!!
all the sand is protected....national park or private beach......
if u go with ur car they simply jail u.....
last big sand spaces are on the bed of po river.....50km from milano.......police hadn't said nothin yet....but it is protetcted too..
what is situation in your countries?

it was up for sale resently via Randy Carlson at $25.000 - it was originally built in the 60's, it had every extra they offered, it aslo had loads of photographed history including the build and several trips though Baja and mexico, and those tires are the originals fitted back in the 60's it is a real time capsule and whoever brought it was a lucky man |

baja stars are iper cool but in my mind a buggy has steel wheels, better if 6volts flanged...chrome or white.
i also love that simple jackman wide 5 stars steel wheel, chromed or painted white....maybe this is a reminescence of my childhood...do you remember tamiya sand scorcher???
about the multipla: im sure u all remember "little giant killer"....would be fun to do a multipla version of it lolololol

Does anybody remember the black buggy Mark Herbert was working on a couple years ago? More of a street race car with early Fuchs and a turbo motor. I believe it had an automatic trans. Do any of you have pics of it?

monki that greeen manx is simply perfect : that point of green is wonderful. an italian dune buggy named "autozodiaco deserter" was presented in 1969 on a brochure. it was painted same green. when i found two nos bodies of tht ( it was moulded from dearborn dac deserter and so it is just the same) i thought to paint one green several times...but they are new and all virgin.....seemed to be a pity. in that manx i would change only seats ( too british, don't u think?) and front indicator. the rest is perfect. mickey thompson tires stiil produce tyres very similar to that ""slick" gates commando tires we can see in pic. could we have more pic of that car in action plz? could be a very juicy experiance to c them!!!!! just droolin' to c them!!!!! |

yea jim i understood tht u were jokin...but i always love to learn not only about cars...i would love if u can explain the sense of the gag u made....cause one of the greatest thing (for me) of this forum is to talk of friends of all world and learn and get way of thinkin of them. humour is a main thing in life i think. it is a treasure to understand how people laugh in different countries... |

Bullitt, I think the joke was if you try to mention buggys at Cal-look.com they won´t have it! But at the lounge you can talk about anything... I love a good manx myself! If I got it wrong Jim, please tell me  |
