What the heck kind of buggy did I just pick up???

[joetrike]

Has anybody seen one like this? If so what kind of mini buggy is it? I couldn't find any tags or data plates any where, but the frame is square steel tubing. the wheels have 5 lugs. The body has 6 attachment points. The rear 1"solid axle has a center support bearing.
It is without question is commercially produced...not home made. pretty cool unit. I came up empty with its identity. Perhaps someone can help me out.
I haven't been on this web site in years since I picked up the Wards T555, so I hope the photos up load.

Anyway, this looks like a fun project...we'll see. I'm stumped on what kind it is.

I can't help you but it looks like it will be a riot when it's finished! :thumbsup:

It resembles a Dune Cat, but with a different body. Very cool though! :thumbsup:

I'm still stumped. Started buying parts for the project though.

It is a Bug Dune Bug.

Apparently one bought the plans for these, or maybe the parts to assemble them. I checked the link, for the listed current mfg. It's down, so Bug/K&P could be out of business now. All that said, that looks like a cart made for fun.
