You are looking at a 1966 vw chassis with a dunbar hawk body
made in framingham massachussetts, im guessing somtime early
70s.
The name hawk comes from the former red sox player Ken harolson
who promoted the dunbar company.This was a ground up project
that started with stripping it down to nothing and starting
over. It was left apart behind a barn for 15 years. When i
picked it up to all 4 wheels were seized solid, It had to
be dragged by my pickup and the floor was left with trees
growing through it.Not to mention a lot of parts were missing.
After a whole summer of sand blasting, painting, welding and
ordering parts twice a week my good friend and i have restored
this fun buggy and is now a daily driver.
This is what my dune buggy consists of:
1966 ball joint chassis
coil over shocks front and rear
solid mount tranny and engine
1641.cc engine with a mild engles cam
new dual port heads with a three angle valve job and oversized
valve guides
skat intake with DFAV two barrol carb
chrome tri mill bobcat header and muffler
empi bolt on aluminum valve covers
complete new wiring front to back
chevy 14 inch rims
1994 cavaleir front seats and custom back seat
This motor has only 100 miles on it and i plan on putting
many more on it driving it everywhere i can This whole project
was done in one summer under a 10 by 20 tent with a few lights
and a cheep sand blaster that made the biggest mess ive ever
seen. Il say this it was worth ever bit of it. I am addicted
to buggies , im 26 and dont think ill ever grow out of my
dune buggy.
