A guy I work with told me today that he wants to sell an old off-road rail buggy he got in a trade a while back.  He says it has a good running 1600 Dual Port engine and drives good.  He said that it needs some seats and could use a new paint job, but overall is in pretty decent shape.  It has headlights and spot lights, but no tail lights.  I ask if it was a short or long wheelbase, and he said it's pretty short . . . it'll pop a wheely without any trouble.  He priced it to me at $400 and said that if I bought it this week he could come down on the price "just a little."

It sounds like a good deal, but I don't have the money right now so there is no need in me even looking at it.  If anyone else is interested, I'll get his phone # for you.  He lives in Trion, GA.

It's probably a Type 3 (or Type 3 Ghia, if it is thought to be a Ghia)

A lot of people don't care for them but they are fairly rare (read: real expensive to restore, can't find model specific parts)
