My Favorite Old School Buggy!
My Favorite Old School Buggy was one of the first metal frame Buggy. It
was the Brainchild of "Tiny Thompson" and show not only strength but all
around fun in the out doors! They also ran alot of the original off road
races in the early sixties. They are very durable.
These nimble little "Burros" even ran the
Baja 1000! Having a lot of ground clearance
which proved very useful in off road trips.
The engine cage provided plenty of
protection against the out doors. In the
picture,the right, shows the most familiar set
up. They lacked fenders and metal covers.
Most people installed the metal sides so the
little Burro was at home on te street and the
off roads. Others like the pictures below
received not only metal skins but also
included fenders to provide even better
protection to the driver and passenger. One
could get as creative as you wanted with
these little basic buggies. Dune Buggies and
Hot VW's magizine even had one that had a
deck on the back for photo work for the
mag!
As you can see in the following pictures, This is one really
fine example of what could be done with the "Burro".
This one is set up fun on the street as well as being able
to take on the out back! This is really one fine little Buggy.
