Funco originally started out in business making custom sandcars frames for VW engines over 30yrs ago.  Although today we manufacture an assortment of kits and turn-key cars for all types of engines, we still offer customization of off-road configurations for almost any application.  Examples are:

Assault Vehicles (special forces)

Stackable Cars (to haul in a C5 airplane)

Off-Road racers

Baja pre-runners

FAVoR stands for Fast Attack Vehicle Replica.  Perfect for pre-running race courses, this car incorporates a beefier suspension, along with windshield, full roof and body panels.  This car accommodates those super long rides when you need to be prepared for almost anything.  And talk about a smooth ride in Baja, you just can't match an air bag suspension for silky smooth comfort, yet brawny enough to soak up to worse terrain you can imagine.

Rescue vehicles

Funco also offers various special configurations for a variety of applications.  Here's an example of the "SERV" (Sand Emergency Rescue Vehicle), complete with gurney.  The BLM needed a smooth ride to haul out injured people, they found it in a modified Big 5.  A key benefit was it decreased their response times dramatically getting to injured people, which is a good thing.

We always welcome a challenge for our engineering department.  With special adaptations our cars can be used in all corners of the off-road world.  Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Australia, and South Africa are all places that can benefit from our off-road experience.  We ship around the world and can custom build a custom car via Internet. Our cars can eat up terrain of all kinds, for all walks of life.  

We offer FUN and SAFETY by the car load, just try one of our cars and find out. We have produced more sandrails than anyone, and for longer than most.  Reading through these web pages you can learn what sets our cars apart from the others.  It's all about handling, utility, safety and durability.
