Cox - dune buggy

[Gert]

Hi,

I bought this one on eBay last week. Does anyone have some parts that are missing on this buggy? (shifter, exhaust, license plate etc.)

Gert,
I have one that color too. Mine's missing part of the exhaust and that's it. Pretty tough to find parts for these. On mine, I have to keep the tires off the ground or they flat spot pretty quick.
When I was a kid, I had one and put a remote controil into it to drive around....(dad was into R/C airplanes) Sure was a lot of fun. I think it got given away to the neighbor kid....wish I had it back !

GregR,

I'm looking forward to the moment the postman delivers this beautiful buggy at my house. After that I will search for parts on eBay. For me the only way to get the parts. Complete, new in a box, these Cox-dune buggies cost a lot. 300,00 USD seems to be very normal. I was lucky and bought this one for 60,00 USD. (excl. shipping)

The Franklin Mint Meyers Manx is also a favorite of me. Maybe in the near future.....

Hmm..I didn't know the toys go for that much cash! All I have are those VW beetles that are liquor decantors...

Carlos,
Where did you get those decanters? I want one badly!!!

Now THIS is what I thought you were talkin about. It is one of those K-Mart buggies (just a plastic toy) now set up with R/C! The thing is a kick in the pants!

Not mine though. Wish I had one.
