"Mean Green Machine"

History of the dune buggy...

This page will tell you more about the history of our little Mean green machine...

Where I found it...

This buggy was one of those listings you stumble onto on ebay, and go, WOW that would be kinda cool. So you bid on it, ask the guy a few questions to find out some details, and then watch it end. Usually I get outbid because I am CHEAP. I don't like to ever pay more for an old dune buggy project than I could spend to order a new Berrien Buggy body.

Here is the text from the listing on ebay. I guess it was just vague enough that not alot of people found the ad or thought it was worth bidding on.

"For all you Volkswagon enthusiets. This is a classic volkswagon dune bugy that was used in the 70s. Don't have any hard facts on the car. The engine is not in runing condition. Has a four cylinder engine with four carburators. The car would have to be loaded on a trailer that will be included with the sale. Thanks and good luck."

 

Life before ebay?

Before this little baby found it's way onto ebay, it spent the last 20 odd years in storage. The buggy was in a building when it sold to a new owner. The buggy has been sitting in the back of the boat shop all that time with the owner thinking of re-doing it someday. I have promised to keep him updated on it's progress, thats one of the reasons for this web adventure. So here we go!

Friends don't let friends Ebay alone.
