I haven't been much into buggies earlier, but this thread is quite inspirational..
Sure wouldn't mind a classic Manx in flake with some Cal Parts or chrome Sprintstars wrapped in periode rubber..
By the way, love your car Monkiboy!

very cool car monki....yea.....desert flavoured....i think u know what i mean.

i think you would enjoy a book i bought last year, one of the best of ever in my bookshelf:

"1000 miles to glory "     by    martin fiolka.

history of mexican (baja) 1000

full of important infos on the history of the race and very very very full of period images:
fiberglass dune buggies (manx etc) but tubolar frame too ( funco, chenowth, sandmaster)

big amount of atistic photos not only of old volkswagen buggies but even of some great american cars.....like parnelli jones broncos and blazers etc........

a book to die for.

Bullitt - that's what I meant about "trivia"... What kinda a motor was it running, is the car still around somewhere, who was involved building the buggie etc

Thanks Bullitt

Sorry to take it backwards a little, but I had this link in my favourites from the Thomas Crown Affair:
