1965
Deserter GT Dune BuggyBuilt with a 1965 Chevrolet Corvair drivetrain,
running gear and suspension, including
110hp engine 6 cylinder engine
Corvair 4-speed manual gearbox
Corvair Front and Rear Suspension
Corvair Steering and Brakes
There are no VW parts on this buggy.
The frame is made of tubular steel. Many companies were building Dune Buggy frames in the early 70's and I believe this frame
was offered in the J.C. Whitney catalog.
Recently purchased from a private collection, it is believed to have been driven less than 2,000
miles since being built.
This is a turn-key, ready to go buggy you can start enjoying immediately. It is guaranteed to win car show trophies and attract attention wherever
you go. Even in car jaded South Florida, this buggy turns heads.
One of the most unique buggies you will ever find !

The body and gel coat are in very nice condition and look stunning from a few
feet away. There are some small chips, cracks & blemishes you would expect to find on a buggy of this vintage.


Corvair tail lights and a lighted license plate frame






Brand new fuel tank (quality Canadian made) with brand new stainless steel sending unit.
Corvair steering and front suspension with Koni shocks. This makes for a firm ride I would call this more of a Street Buggy than a Dune Buggy.

The engine is mostly stock with the addition of a larger after market finned oil pan, Ignitor Electronic Ignition, Accel Super Coil and a custom Buggy header exhaust.

The engine case number is TO916RD and the heads are 3856759 this indicates a 110 hp, no smog engine from 65 to 67.
The engine has lots of power and runs absolutely perfect.
According to the previous owner ( magazine article ) the engine was rebuilt
when he purchased the car - so it should have less than 2,000 miles






Stock Corvair shifter and linkage - the clutch feels new

Corvair peddle assembly and the Fuel Gauge


More of the tubular steel frame - storage area behind seats



Yes, this Buggy is Street Legal - Notice a current PA registration decal on the windshield


A chrome cap covering the antenna mounting hole There is no radio installed

Two cracks in the gel coat on top of the drivers front fender

15 inch Cragar rims with almost new 205/70 front and 255/70 rear tires


Vehicle identification number plate located in the engine compartment.
This Buggy was originally built and titled in Pennsylvania, it is now in Florida and was recently issued an Assembled From Parts ( ASPT
) Kit Car Florida Title.
