Anyone local know this guy? He's been posting blurry pics of T2 and T4 engine builds for years. I'm not likely a customer, but curious if he's legit. When I find the time, I might have to reach out just to see what his setup is like (aka home garage).

yeah that guy has parted out a few 914's, I bought something from him a few years ago. I remember thinking it was pretty sketchy. No idea on his builds though...

The location always zeros onto the Prospect Park neighborhood - but I don't know where Dune Buggy Supply was located.
Yeah, the potato pictures have never inspired confidence. It's always the same greasy out of focus pics! Someone must be buying the engines, because he has a new one at least once a month. Its so weird. |

It has to be the same guy that has had 914 transmissions and other horribly photographed parts here on Craigslist for years.
Not sure if it’s Sam, the guy who took over/transitioned Dune Buggy Supply in Hopkins when Bill Jenkins died? I thought he moved the shop somewhere well past the western suburbs. |

I can't think of his name right now but does motormeister as an engine rebuilder ring any bells? I would run far away.
@conedodger , did you work with a guy named Joe at DBS? |

Looks like Dune Buggy Supply is still in business - in Norwood/Young America on the southwest end of the Twin Cities. They have a Facebook page:
