Looks like a Dune Buggy w/ street tires. Must be light, though.

At 1350 lbs ready to run and even less with the Carbon Fiber body option.
Unlike a Beck it is designed for a six cylinder engine.
The New Deserter has update suspension and brakes.
With the 911 drivetrain you had better be wearing Brown pants and Bicycle clips.

At 1350 lbs, that 's a lot of tire up front.

btw, from the title I expected to see a GI-Joe doll, with a Bill Clinton Face. (yeah, that would be dodger, not deserter --nevermind)

I would've never guessed you thought GW was a pretty-boy.

Hellloooooo - born in Conneticut, went to Yale. If that's not a 'Ken', what is? He likes to dress up in leather as a cowboy on the weekends. His military record pretty much writes off any chances of playing the "G.I. Joe" role.

All the signs are there, you just can't see it.

That looks pretty wild, Steve.

Are you going to sell them turn-key? What sort of price ranges would one be looking at with the VW engines?

How about with a 911 engine? Do you include the brown pants and bicycle clips?
