Looking for a Dune Buggy

On Vance Road, between East Brainerd and Lee Highway, there are two "VWs" for sale.  One, is a buggy (I'm not sure which body style) and the other is a Beetle/truck.  The truck has Shriner emblems and logos on it.  Both are red.  I haven't stopped to inquire about either one.  I'm usually racing through there to take or pick up my daughter from CSLA.

I've looked at the Beetle/Truck I think they want $2500.00 for the truck
And the Buggy Looked pretty nice I was scared to stop and see how much it was. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I saw you have an Allison Buggy.  I have a few questions?  
Do you still have it?

Is it for sale?

Is it a four seater?

Has it been shortened?

How much is it?

I also saw that someone told you about another buggy and you were afraid to stop and check on the price.. Was it an Allison?  and if so could you give me the contact info?

I am looking for an Allison, 4 seater, that was built in the 70's for Zamora Shriner Dune Buggies - these buggies were originally metal flake orange and black - if you have any info where I might find one, I would appreciate it.

Lane, Al.

Hi,  Yes I do have an Allison 2 seater. I'm a retired factory trained VW  tech and I have lusted for a Allison Buggy for years. I had a Manx buggy but it was not the buggy that a Allison was. The Allison is undergoing restoration as we speak. I'm sorry, but its not for sale at this time.
   The other buggy was not a Allison, but looked more like a Manx knock off.
   We think my Allison is a later model with flared fenders and a little longer hood. 70's ? and it was once red metal flake.
  I don't know where there is another one right now, but good luck on finding one. Stay in touch with us as you never know what will "pop" up.

Well theres your answer Lane. Bugtech was the one that bought the Allison you where asking me about on the phone. But I'll keep looking.

I am far from VWless now Bugnut.

 The single cab a friend of mine bought it I just went and helped him drag it home.
