I see that Kim aka stilgar of Sietch Tabr is a Dune fan, as am I. The Old Man of the Desert aka shaihulud
In fact I am re-reading it for the umpteenth time now.
Good luck in your quest for a buggy or Baja.

Indeed Chris. I do have a 74 bug in fairly shabby condition, that has been Herbied and which is sort of for sale. I can be persuaded to sell it now,
rather than later if I know that it will go to a good home and be Bajaed.
Have bug, need kit, will Baja.

$500 for the Herbie, but I warn you its clapped out.
The pan and body are OK, the front suspension clunks, the engine clatters, the gearbox rumbles, the tyres are fair and old, the interior is tatty and
torn, it has rego until January 2007 and great headlights from a Mini Minor, but for all that it's still the coolest car that I have ever driven
because it's a Herbie. Ask the local kids.
So the decision has been made. Herbie's now for sale.

Stilgar. The heater channels are in good condition. The heater works. The A and B pillars are not rusted anywhere on them. The body is good all over.
The only rust that I have found is surface rust on both the body and the doors. The running boards and their rubbers are not good. The mudguards are
battered all over, but that doesn't matter if you are going to Baja it. The paint work is really bad and has lots of little rusty spots all over it.
The interior is poor with torn seats and head lining.
The steering is good and the brakes work as well as can be expected. It still has the original AM only radio.
I also have a twin port 1600 engine, which I was told is in good condition when I bought the wreck for it and other things. It's been sitting on my
bench for the past couple of years. The tinware is off, but the engine is complete, except for some parts that are on the Herbie. You can have that
for an extra $100.
That is, Herbie and a TP 1600 engine for $600 FIRM. It's priced to sell so please don't haggle.
Chris has a pair of highback seats that may interest you.
What with Herbie, a kit and some other things you should be ready to build a Baja for about $1,000.
Let me know. Shai-hulud.
P.S. The Herbie stripes and numbers are WAY COOL.
