Dan's Manx Dune Buggy
About
3 years back while working in my driveway
on my 1968 Jeffries Mantaray II Kyote
a young guy stopped in to check out
my buggy. One of the first things he
had to say was "I have one just
like it at home". My response to
him was "Ya right", as Jeffries
only made about 150 Kyotes. After talking
for a while it became apparent that
the only similarity was that it was
a dunebuggy and he wanted to find a
chassis. I told him where to look and
what costs were involved and before
I knew it his body was for sale. Sight
unseen I offered him $50.00 and he accepted
my offer. Upon seeing it, I realized
it was a Manx clone, I had to turn him
down as it was in incredibly bad condition.
He then said if I gave him $20.00 I
could have it. Well for $20.00 it was
a sale.
