I’m not sure that many of these were made, because I think I’ve seen, oh, one in my entire life! Back in the mid-seventies, the complete kit sold for well under $2,000 and was pretty much built on a dunebuggy chassis (ie. VW minus 14.5″). It was quite a small car, 46″ to the roof and with only an 80″ wheelbase. I see this as an early version of the Manx SR personally…
If anyone reading this has a real photo of it (or even more promo stuff), let me know.
i have seen one of these cars and have been looking for one there is one on the east side of the mississippi river
Jason, still wanting to buy a March Hare kit car? I have a nice one for sale.
I almost bought one back then. They are based on the VW Rabit doner. I have a friend in NJ that was a dealer and I will see if I can look him up.

The March Hare was designed by Jim Edwards and John Marshall, head of Brigham Young University design school. Tooling and prototype were built by Jim & Vicki Edwards and Leavonworth Holden, loft chief of Trumpy Yachts of Annapolis, MD. Most of the buyers were engineers. Bruce Kirk, project manager of the Harpoon program built one that won top prize in several car shows. A more advanced model called ECCO (Edwards Car Co.) was being built when the company closed shop.
The March Hare was mounted on a shortened VW Beetle chassis.

Your comment a year ago says you have a windshied and assy manual- do you know what windshield was used? Reply to 1908victorian@excite.com is OK.
Are you looking to sell it Art, or are you just stating you have one. If you are selling feel free to send us photos using our contact form with your asking price and any other info.
Thanks
Hah ! Just came across this. I have been looking for an afordable March Hare kit for years. Wonder if there are still any out there ? This last post being four years old, I also wonder if anyone is still paying attention here. At least fiberclassics is still active.
Hey John. This is still very much an active site. Unfortunately there March hate was not all that popular when it came out and it’s not very sought after today. There is usually the same two on thesamba.com and for whatever reason the sellers think they are worth big money. I guess they think rare, and not popular are the same thing.
There is one for sale in Aiken South Carolina look on Facebook market place. He is asking $3,000.00 for it.
