1960s go kart/dune buggy

Hi, I found a 1960s dune buggy with balloon tires in my friends barn. It has a fiberglass body that was orange. I can not find any information on it and was wondering if anyone knew the year and brand so I could start looking in to restoring it. thanks

Majority used VW bug chassis and motors. Some used Small bodied fords chassis with small blck V-8's.

You could find a local speed shop, or someone that knows how to build frames for motorcycles, etc. and could probably build a new frame & get a gearbox off of say a small cc motorcycle, and make that thing boogie.
