This sand rail is a formerly Colorado street registered car running a 1971 Porsche 911T motor. The seller says he’s neither driven it nor had it checked out since purchase, so running condition is a bit of a mystery. They add that the former owner said it was wicked fast and a lot of fun, and we’ve driven similar buggies with lightly tuned VW motors that could lift the wheels off loose sand in second gear. Find this one here on eBay in Santa Barbara, California for $15k OBO.

Check out the timing chain-driven steering gear and slicks. This thing would be equal parts scary and fun on the streets.

140 HP and maybe 1,000 pounds with fuel and driver might convince the new owner to invest in some wheelie bars.

Building a similar buggy today simply wouldn’t be economical, meaning this is probably one of the last of its kind we’re likely to see.
