Our last buggy was ~15 years ago and was a VW beam car... Listing was: 20062 Funco Hustler SSE 4 seat (#15) 420 horse Redline Northstar w/ MEFI, Mendeola 2-D, 930s, two-tube bypass Kings, radio & intercom with 4 head sets, 2 owner, factory built, professionally maintained, and super clean. Car is pretty much a time capsule... gages, lighting, etc. all original. Original paint still there but previous owner updated panels with some black vinyl. Went through the car and everything looked good except the lower rear shock mounts and a leak PS reservoir cap. Replaced the shock mounts, all four rear shock uniballs, misalignment bushings, and grommets as well as the radiator hoses... then time for a shake down. Happy to report that after 6 days there were zero issues besides the leaky PS reservoir cap. Temp fix for that and all is good Still have ~20 days left in the dunes this season and won't do much to it until it's over. May eventually do the full update or just a couple things here and there, unsure yet - air system probably top of the list - but very happy with the car! **Had to edit the post - turns out this is a Gen3 SSE coil car from 2002 and originally built and owned by @FASTER DADDY - good seeing you the other day and really appreciate the intel on this gem Edited March 25 by HozayKwarvo 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower shock mounts were worn pretty good, especially the passenger side. Both were replaced The rhino lining on the arms might be great but kinda sucks when it's time to cut and weld... we won't be doing anymore of that in the future 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up getting a new pump and remote reservoir. That solved the problem for me. I don't think the stock reservoir seals properly to the existing pump and just leaks. Nice car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
