This is a 1971 deserter gt dune buggy. Very rare, desirable and hard to find. Completely rebuilt with a body off restoration in the spring of 2015. Less then 200 miles since this costly build of $17,000. 1600 dp motor. King pin front and swing axle rear. 1965 chassis. One of the best modifications done during this build was moving the seats and shifter back six inches. No eating your knees in this one. I'm 6'2" and am very comfortable in this one. Most everything is brand new. New floor pans, new complete brake system including master cylinder, hard and soft lines, hydraulic parking brake, drums, shoes, springs, plungers and brand new front disc conversion. New shocks, shifter, shift coupler and bushings. New pedals with roller gas pedal. New throttle and clutch cable.

New steering wheel, all new aviation type switches, console, four speakers, blue,tooth stero, seats, rubber floor covering, side and rear view mirrors, battery and battery cut off switch, new dot approved lexan windshield and new DuPont base coat clear coat in pepper gray metallic. Eleanor's colors and is perfect on it. The interior walls are wrapped in emu ostrich. There is a black water proof cockpit cover. This beast runs, drives and sounds awesome! Turn heads....make that brakes necks all day long! Guaranteed conversations, comments, questions and requests for photos! I have never seen another deserter in person. They are out there, I know...but they are very rare There is a tiny chip on the front left fender just in front of the mirror from a tool drop. The drivers seat has a seam split which you can see in the pictures. If you look closely, this like every forty five year old fiberglass body has minor stress cracks. Barely visible but they are there. For some reason the stereo speakers stopped working. I haven't looked at it. The new directional switch sometimes doesn't self cancel. Vehicle is located in northern New Hampshire and is currently registered and inspected. Feel free to call Walt to arrange inspection or with questions at 617-823-8760. I may also be willing to deliver for a reasonable fee... This vehicle comes with a tow bar. It also has the lights wired to a standard flat four plug for towing.
