Well what i have here is a 1965-1969 Snoopy by Coot Industries 4 Wheel Buggy(The first of its kind ).These were first made in 1965 by a guy named George Carter and then he sold the design to Coot Industries in 1967 and Coot Industries made about 2000 of these before the company closed down in the late 1960's. So yea this is a rare buggy....ive never seen anything like this before and i got it for free from a guy who told me he had a go cart frame due to me looking for one to build for my nephew...Have a look....:eek:

anything from coot is a rarity. it is a shame most of the fiberglass has rotted away.

its really not rotted just broken around the fron edge and a crack in the back. the fiberglass is in sound condition and would only need a little work on the front and a fix with the crack in the back. these thing are weird though being that the front axle is just bolted to the fiberglass and the rear axle is molded into the body. it will be an easy fixer...:w00t:

What are your plans?

well im stil deciding but i will prolly end up cutting the front and rear up so i can put an actual frame under it and redo the fiberglass around the edges but basicly use the body to keep the look but make it fun and safe to drive. if i could find someone who would trade another go kart for it i would do that

I wish I had the time or money to get it from you and work on it. I always like those old 70's era ATV's.
