Default Buggy for sale.

Price to forum members is $1,300. I'll trailer it up to 100 miles one-way for $1,500. Locally, I'm asking a lot more.

Wish i had the chance to really ride it a couple times. snow's too deep here and is quickly going to make a huge muddy mess for the next month and a half. Test rode on frozen ground with no snow pre-paint with no brakes, floor, seatbelts or carb tune and I was having a blast. had no problem kicking the back end out around the turns and couldn't get near full speed because of the brakes not being installed.

build thread below has most of the work in it and a vid.
About 10 laps in the snow, a couple laps in the vid at the end of the build thread. despite digging at least a foot of cover off and packing it down with the deere, the snow was heavy and still 6 inches to a foot deep and just shredded out and made it tough to get any speed going.

It really needs the 22" tires front i have for it, it'd give it that extra bit of clearance up front, put the camber were i designed it and makes it look much better balanced front to rear. just don't have the cash to get a set of 10 inch rims for them

Seems too cheap for all the time you invested into that one. I'm sure you'll have no problem with the sale.

When i first started messing with upgrading the 3203, the wheels began turning about resto-modding backyard karts and buggies for resale as a winter side biz since my biz is mostly seasonal. After repeatedly rebuilding the rockhound i realized there'd be no money in it to cover the labor. Materials expense to clean old used metal and repaint it eats up what you could gain for some of your labor. This project really proved the point to me, but since i had all the elements sitting right there and had the time I did itsince i knew i'd need the money. original cost of all the parts a few years ago plus hardware, materials and electricity is not too far off what i'm asking. what little over that is left = about $1-2 per hour labor return. I make more money per hour crushing soda cans.

Hanging in there, it's a day by day operation today. I'm seriously considering going into undertaking. It seems today healthcare and funeral care are taking off to new highs since the AHCA took affect along with the crappy economy. Those seem to be the only industries with a great future. I'm figuring cremation would have the least overhead and with already having an FFL I'll be efficient with the regulatory paperwork.

Hi Racing, no, still have it.

Weather's been lousy up here so it hasn't been outside with the for sale sign (I live on a prime heavy traffic road) in over a week and with it being as cold and wet as it has been, not many buyers in the hunt for toys on CL.
Thinking about sitting it up at my mini golf now that i've got that open. But I hate the thought of too many people and kids messing around on it when I can't keep an eye on it.

pile of bills and nothing in the bank ... Sold the 250 out of the rockhound 2 days ago and that money will likely go into the house and not the new engine.

what do you all think, if i ran a raffle at $20 an entry and 6 entries for $100. i'd need to hit 75 single entries or 15 stumping up for the 6-entry deal.
Who'd toss in?
Long distance winner would be out $3-500 probably to ship it mid to fully cross country.
uploading a ride video from today, sunny day, ground fairly dried out, i couldn't resist a few laps. got near top speed one time. I'll put it here when yucktube finishes.
