The Dune Runner was first named the Road Runner by Dune Buggy Enterprises. WB thought that was a bad idea so they changed it to Dune Runner as the story goes. Dune Runners came in 9 different styles and 42 colors. There were three different wheelbases available. 80" standard, 90" full legnth and the pickup 80" wheelbase. Each one had its own reccommendations for the chassis modification.
One of the most distinctive IDTraits of the Dune Runners was the different hoods availabel when you ordered your buggy. You could have the standard which was a modified T-birdStyle hood with bump, A ShelbietteHood, MiniMercedees, and a Tbug style hood.
