History

This is a "Rare" Original, First Edition Dune Buggy Enterprises 1968 "Road Runner" body style, They were sued by Chrysler and Warner Brothers and changed the next production models to "Dune Runner T-Bird"

Purchased in March (Stripped it bare) Sand Blasted original parts, and restored it to completely street legal. Everything works i.e... (lights, brakes, wipers, engine, trans and so on).
The AH-1600cc engine rebuilt to a 1776cc and mechanicals were gone through 2yrs ago, along with the synchronizers in the 4 speed manual transmission, and the floor pans repaired..

The Dune Runner was first car named the Road Runner by Dune Buggy Enterprises. WB and Chrysler thought that was a bad idea and forced them to change it to Dune Runner as the story goes. Dune Runners came in 9 different styles and 42 colors. There were three different wheelbases available. 80" standard, 90" full length and the pickup 80" wheelbase. Each one had its own recommendations for the chassis modification.
