Thank you. Any idea where the sand shark tubs come from? I can't seem to find them any where. I want to get a different windshield set up for it, but not sure where to find one, or if they are just custom made? I'm also trying to figure out what motor and tranny I have. Been told I have a bus motor, but trying to figure out the correct specs. Here's a few more pics I took earlier today! Attachments:

Photobucket works well for posting more than 1 pic at a time.

There is a guy in Fruitport that sells bug parts. I picked up a couple things from him.

Looks like a type 4 motor to me, Could be from a Bus, 411, 412, 914. Depending on what size it is you could have a pretty quick buggy there. The Sand Shark was produced by All Terrain Vehicle Industries Incorporated in Michigan. I don't believe they are in business any longer. You can find on the Sand Shark here www.dunebuggyarchives.com/decision-tree/leafs/BuggyId/?first=sYou can get Tub parts from www.berrienbuggy.comwww.thesamba.com in the classifieds Or Georges Hot VW's in Battle Creek Or come out to some shows and scour the swap meet. |
