Hi everybody... been awhile since I've posted, but this is where I'd go to find folks willing to talk me out of the $400 maybe-Manx dune buggy local to me, right?

Why do you want something stupid like a dune buggy? By the way where are you located?

Nope, wrong place, this is where you get reinforcement from enablers cheeky

If it's a four seater don't tell me where it is.

Turned up on FB marketplace in KC. No affilation. Looks rough, that's never stopped you loons.

Yep, this is the place.  No love here for $400 *anything*.  So, where's the build thread?

I’d have already vultured that E36 M3 out from under you if it was local.

Welcome back Bax!

Nope. Can't talk you out of that one. A Manx is pure automotive joy in solid form

We actually have a few dune buggies here in the KC area, oddly enough.

There's a guy with two in his driveway near my daughter's last daycare and I see 'em posted on FB/CL all the time.

 

Looks pretty rough and been sitting a bit. I'd offer him $300.

No way in hell would we talk you out of it.

So which direction are you planning to go with your new 400$ dune buggy? Vintage, V8, off-road, autocross?.... Some inspiration:

I'm gonna pass on it, but only because I'm saving the garage space for a YJ or TJ Wrangler.

It's not a Manx, but you've spent more on stupider stuff, right?

And welcome back. How's life been treating you?

Wussy.  The buggy would be more fun, IMO.

You are a better man than me. If that was local I'd already be going to pick it up.

Since that is sold already, maybe you need a nearby hovercraft...

I have, that's true.

Life is great, thank you! Very good. And I have been lurking around a bit now and then, I just haven't had much of anything to post.
