All original and complete except for engine. Not hacked up.Starts right up and goes good. Ready to ride. Throttle is a little hard to twist. $230 firm. 1 hr south of Boston and 20 min north of prov RI

Looks like it might be an old "El Tigre" from the mid-1960's...

I thought that myself but I have never seen a painted El Tigre or one without the logo on the back of the seat and this seat looks to be orginal. Thanks for the reply.

It's an odd Bird. Foremost made El Tigres. Bird made Foremosts, and the seat looks like a Sears. The Sears Birds had pull back bars and the Penneys Bird/Foremosts had turned out bars. It's probably the Sears equivalent of the El Tire.

Ruppster Dune Buggy

Hi Delray. Always wanted a Ruppster. I have never seen one in person. That's in good shape and wouldn't take long to restore. It's on my "to get list". Thanks
