This looks so familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it. On the bottom it has: Durham Industries, Inc New York, NY Made in Hong Kong Yippie Bandit No. 8014 When I found this on the auction site I just had to have it, please don't ask why. I have NEVER seen one of these before. Marty Marysville, OH Looks like Beatneck Bandit ll

Got this for $6 at the local Goodwill Store. Sure, it's missing pretty much all it's smaller parts and seats and one front wheel is busted, but, the motor is still there and the pull start still works!

I had one of those and in the same color! The apartment I lived in had an open field behind it. It was a blast to fire up the buggy and let it go! Marty Marysville, OH

Is that the Cox gas buggy? for $6!?!? Well, it was priced at $5, I gave them $6 and said keep the change! So, yes, it's a Cox gas powered Dune Buggy that I paid $6 for.

Well, this is going to be a "Personal Challenge" to myself. I picked these up @ the P.O. yesterday and I'll be building all three at the same time. I'm trying to work out a "batch system" so I can get through my massive back log a little faster. I also scored 44 different colors of flocking from Fowl Flockers. I guess you could say I'm out of my flocking mind! ;D ;D ;D Here's a link to their home page if anyone is interested.......... www.craftflocking.com/index.php?pr=Home_PageThey're great folks and have a lot of Kool & useful products. "Paulie"

FYI - casting a small part here and there to complete a project is one thing.. but copying an entire kit ? I think Dave Deals' son might contact you with copyright infringement lawsuit.. Although I have the equipment and knowledge I refuse to "copy" any of Dave's subjects out of respect.. just my 2 cents ..

I doubt it, I only plan on doing a small number of kits, if I do them and really don't plan on making any money right now I'm jut trying to feel if anyone will buy them, and then if enough people want them than I will cast them, and no I don't plan on doing the entire kit just the major parts like the body and engine and recommending the donor kit that one could use to complete the car. Right now it's just an idea, and it would really have to be worth my wile to cast them.

I picked this up at the Springfield (OH) Extravaganza. The vendor was asking $6.00 but due to my extraordinary negotiating skills, I talked him down to $5.00. ;D

Since it was announced this was going to be released, I wanted one. Now that they are out I couldn't justify the cost, ~$50.00. Thank goodness for Hobby Lobby and their 40% off coupon! I immediately opened it and I am glad I didn't pay full price. Two big disappointments: -the body is held on to the chassis with double face tape!! Surely a better system could have been designed. I will probably use velcro. -the wheels are plastic push on which isn't too bad. The problem is the wheel spacers. You get a tube that you have to cut down to size. Push the wheels on, measure, Somehow pry the wheels off w/o damaging them. Cut spacers, add spacers push wheels back on and hope it fits. Still glad I got it and will get the Batmobile too in spite of the design flaws. Marty Marysville, OH

I probably paid too much for this kit, $9.99 since it is missing the engine, decals and I'm not sure if anything else is. That is NOT the original body prop rod ;D The box art I have seen does not have the side wings , but on this body there are the holes for them. Are there different versions of this? Marty Marysville, OH

There were two different versions of this and several of the cars in this series. I think they didnt have them in the original issues , and when the next series of cars came out they retooled the old series to have those side wings . I looked for a decal set for this that you could scan, but this is one set I'm missing as well.
