Kenneth, Cool Buggy. it is also back in my days. You can go to WWW.Dunebuugyarchives.com website and it has a pretty good list of buggies that will help identify what you have.

If you are asking, is it a Meyers Manx, go to the Meyers Manx web-site (National). For $125.00 you complete the application, with attached photos. They look for: the glassed in conduit on the underside. This was the channel or channels that ran from front to rear along the length of the body to run the wiring harness. Many serial # plaques, dash, thickness of glass body and over all shots. Suggest you include the front fire wall crossing the pan/channel too. If approved by Winnie Meyers (Bruce Meyers wife), they send you the MM authentication kit including the old emblems like the mid-'60s. Good Luck, hoped this helps!

Nope, not a Manx but like Brian said, it's a great buggy so ......?
From what I can tell I think you're right on with Sandwinder or California Clipper.
At first I was leaning Clipper but the dash looks Sandiwinder. Got to love a good mystery!

Thanks guys, I am really leaning towards the sandwinder. I will keep looking until I can confirm that it is. Not that it matters what it is, but I kinda wanna know for myself.

I'm in the same boat, so to speak. I've not seen another one just like mine but it seems to be closest to
a JSC Body ( Johnny's Speed and Chrome Shop). I haven't found much info on it yet but will keep looking.

Nice buggy, no matter who made it.
