I think I saw a bogy like this for sale in Tampa, FL when I was looking at a beetle for a doner. If I rember correctly he didn't want a lot for it but it was rough.

Its a Fiberjet Super T. They're still in business in Roseville, CA, but I don't know if they still make the Super T.

I think the FiberJet Super "T" is actually a knockoff of the Joe Poty "T". I guess it could be one or the other.

[/QUOTE] I think you're right. I think most all of Fiberjet's stuff is knock-offs. But even the Joe Poty T is a loose copy of the Barris T, which in turn was a loose copy of the very cute and truly original, Berry Mini T

OK ... let's see if I can get an image to show. Like I said I'm a newbie, so I have no idea which came first. Here is an add for the Joe T. Wild Mike

That is what I need! LOL The wife likes old cars and old trucks. Now if I can find another one, I'll have a buggy she HAS to like. Right?

You might have better luck by posting your buggy for sale, in the "buggy's for sale" section. Don't forget to post your asking price, location, and contact info. And, more pictures would help (you're doing good on the picture posting thing).

It is a Joe Poty Sandrover T Pickup. I got one of those bodies thats never been mounted, minus the hood. I might build it someday. :eat: If I build it, I think I'll put a Manx style hood on it.
