There were some good ones around southeast Texas back in the 80's. Couple of them hauled ass pretty good.

Local guy has been racing one down in Baja the past few years. Pretty trick stuff on it.

They are everywhere out here, buy a bunch of reverse gears if you plan on running off road with it. Brass reverse gears don't like off-roading.

I had a 74 baja way back in 85-87. Loved it except for the heater sucked. The reverse gear went out. Had to be careful where ya parked it. Jumped it 2-4 feet in the air many times. The bottom is one big skid plate. Would like to have one again or a sand rail for ripping up the rally track here.

I picked it up for a grand. Its got a just abt new motor. I want to make it look cool and use it around the farm and around the track when its muddy out. Drove it two hours home with no issues.

Manx is the name. They raced them in baja way back ,seems like Malcolm Stewart drove a race in one.

I used mine in the 90s to haul a 40 quart cooler full of cans while riding dirt back roads.

Good times
