Finally took delivery of my buggy this weekend (6-23-07). I couldnt be more happy with the product and experience provided by King Sand cars. I arrived at Glamis around 4PM on friday June 22nd only to find out that there were some last minute complications with my buggy in the form of a factory defect in a rear tire that caused it not to hold air. Bob ended up swapping the tire out with a new one and arriving some time during the middle of the night with the buggy. Early saturday morning I woke up to the sound of Brian testing my car out for the first time (I dont think I have ever flown out of bed that fast!). I dont think I have ever seen a color more perfect than how the car turned out. I couldnt be more happy with it.
The car runs perfect and handles like a dream. After about 30 minutes behind the wheel I was totally comfortable with how it handled and we went for a "5 car deep" ride through the dunes with Brian, Bob, Naugy, Spencer and myself. All in all I give the entire experience an A+. Excellent communications throughout the build. Top notch friendly customer service and a fantastic product. Thank you all at King Sand Cars for one of the best weekends of my life. I cant wait for the next delivery to do it again!!!!!! Jeff Mellen

Very cool. I have a buddy that will build a two seater someday and I have told him about the Kings.
How long to build? |

Its a 1300cc Hayabusa streetbike engine. About 180 hp and the buggy weighs about 1000 pounds. Yeehaw! I wish you could see the paint up close, the pictures make it look red but its actually a metallic copper similar to the dodge ram Daytona. Cant wait to get out there again!!!

Dig the new ride. I know the color you are talking about and you're right, pics don't do it justice.

After speaking with Brian I could tell he is one great guy that cares about his customers not to mention he builds a killer car!!!! Enjoy the dunes, look to be another 1.5 years for me to get the car i want. Kids, new house, putting money into the buisness and all. So I will have to keep the quads until then. I hate being "safe" with the money!! HA HA
