911 powered dune buggy

Sounds like a great deal ...But correct me if I am wrong, but I always was under the impresssion the dune buggy chassis were a bit shorter wheel base than a speedster....

Me too; I thought dune buggies were about 2 to 3 inches shorter than a Speedster.

Most buggy bodies were shortened 14", but some were only shortened the "usual" 11.81 and even fewer were stock VW length (there was one that looked like the "Munster Mobile" and it was stock length)

Anyone interested in a 911 powered dune buggy? A buddy of mine is selling his for $2,000. It hasn't been started in a couple of years, but ran when he bought it. The chassis has type III Volkswagen adjustable beam and disks up front and the Porsche trans, and disks in the rear.

The only reason that I bother posting it is because the buggy chassis is the same length as the shortened VW chassis' that go under the Speedsters. Might make a cool, total Outlaw ride with this chassis under a wide body.

I'm sure that you guys are right. I just thought that the running gear could be used as is, or if the chassis was off (or on) something could be altered to work. ( chassis' can be lengthened as easily as shortened) Just seems like too cool of a platform to go to the buggy crowd, especially with all of the Outlaw activity now becoming more acceptable (there's nearly an every-other-issue feature in Excellence this year) and the Speedsters coming into their own for what they are, not for what the body mimics. Thought that someone might be interested. I guess that the engine/trans/brakes are from the first year of the 911, which makes them a little more desirable (?) easier to work on (?) then the average bear.

Who knows . . .

where is it located? what is the body style ( manx, homemade rail.etc.)thanks judson
