Do you remember the Funco tandem off road race buggies from the late 70’s and early 80’s? This Funco desert racing buggy is the infamous Patrick & Bowers buggy that won the Score 1980 Class 2 championship. It has won such races as the Mint 400 and Baja 500. If being a tandem buggy is not enough, it has the typical 80’s parts like yellow Bilstein shocks, Cibie lights and a windshield. I am not sure I would like to be the passenger in this one…what do you think?

A Diesel Texan Jeep CJ-7 Built In France?
Get this. A diesel powered Jeep CJ-7 built in France and called the Texan. I guess it makes sense, since Renault owned Jeep for a while. In fact, I would love to drive a Jeep CJ7 powered by the 2.0 litre Renault diesel. Notice how the turn signals on the fender have been replaced with english 4 wheel drive badges. What do you think about the whole Texan Jeep that was available in France?
