Check this bad boy out.

1955 or so Goggomobile. Looks like somebody made a sand buggy out of it. It had a 350 Chevy in it. It still has a narrowed 9" in it, from a golf cart I think, it's 4 lug with 12" rear wheels, and only 1 brake, on the left rear!

 

Hahaah, buy it and chop it

 

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe put it on a gas golf cart ch***is. Or maybe put a 4cyl motorcycle engine in it.

 

A 350 Chevy??? Those things are barely big enough to fit a 5hp Briggs and Stratton.

 

I know. The motor sat right where the front seats should be. The doors still work, but you wouldn't have been able to get in through them with the motor there. Would have been easy to change the plugs though.

 

One of the very early funny cars here used one of those bodies (Norm Oakey), with a stretched nose. Pretty sure they called it Pinochio. And it was rear engined. Wierd.

 

haha,I actually owned a 55 goggo when I was like 15 or so,it had a 2cyl 2 stroke engine in it,and red leather interior.

 

Here it is when it was still front engined, blown & injected 354 hemi
later it had twin blowers , then as X38 said it appeared with the engine in the rear & the driver sat out the front.
Cheers Dago.

 

How about dropping in a 4-cylinder bike engine/clutch/******?

I'm thinking sort of a slightly larger street-going Legends car...

 

Thanks Dago, that's a great shot. I should know how to spell Pinocchio too - my wife's Italian!

 

That had to be one scary sand dragger!

 

I just found out that it was used for tractor pulling. It has a big old hitch on the rear end. I was told it was a drag car too, but I don't see any sign of a rollcage.

 

why wouldn't you stick a 350 back in it?

 

WTF? Never have seen one of those before.
