This Bandit Buggy was built by Dune Buggy, Inc. in Englewood Colorado from 1969 to 1983
They had 3 models that they produced which were the Bandit (18 inch shortened vw chassis), the Carriage (full size vw chassis), and the Fargo (their truck looking body). All of their cars were built on donor chassis and they did not build a frame in house. The bandit was included in the Montgomery Wards catalog, however they did not sell very many cars. The bulk of their manufacturing operation was buggies they built for their own rental operations. They had several dune buggy rental companies in Florida and at their peak Dune Buggy, Inc. produced as many as 5 cars per week. They started out with the 1300cc engine and finished with the 1600cc engine when they stopped production.
