This 2013 Reboot Buggy by Joey Ruiter has sold, but you can explore more custom off-road vehicles, street-legal buggies, and one-off automotive designs now on Fourbie Exchange.  

Overview 
A radical reimagination of the off-road vehicle, the 2013 Reboot Buggy was designed by acclaimed industrial artist Joey Ruiter to strip away excess and return to pure mechanical function. This street-legal, high-performance buggy is powered by a 400-horsepower 6.3-liter Chevrolet V8 paired with rear-wheel drive and a race-inspired tube chassis. 

More than a concept, this machine is fully functional, titled, and ready for the road, showing just under 1,400 miles. Offered by Garage Kept Motors in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this one-of-a-kind creation represents a rare opportunity for collectors of modern automotive art and high-performance engineering.  

A Brutalist Masterpiece with Function at Its Core 
Designed to challenge convention, the Reboot Buggy by Joey Ruiter embodies brutalist simplicity and raw capability. Its angular aluminum body panels and open mechanical layout eliminate unnecessary components, emphasizing utility over ornamentation. The result is a functional work of art: a minimalist machine that merges sculpture, performance, and innovation. 

Featured in design and automotive publications worldwide, the Reboot Buggy has become an icon of modern industrial design and a must-have for discerning collectors.  

Uncompromising Performance with a 400-HP V8 
Beneath its geometric exterior lies a 6.3-liter Chevrolet V8, producing an estimated 400 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission, delivering exhilarating acceleration and a visceral driving experience. 

Massive 40-inch Yokohama Geolandar M/T tires and a race-bred suspension system ensure outstanding off-road performance, while a Ford Explorer-sourced braking system provides confident stopping power. This combination of strength, simplicity, and balance makes the Reboot Buggy equally at home on pavement or in the dunes.  

Minimalist Interior with High-Tech Touches 
Inside, the cockpit follows the same minimalist design philosophy. A single-piece aluminum dash houses a digital display, while fixed racing bucket seats with Crow Enterprizes 4-point harnesses offer a secure and purposeful driving position. A quick-release steering wheel, push-button start, and functional heater complete the essentials—everything you need, nothing you don’t.  

Street-Legal with Clean Michigan Title 
Despite its avant-garde appearance, the 2013 Reboot Buggy is fully street-legal and carries a clean Michigan title. Whether displayed in a private collection, showcased in a museum, or unleashed on city streets and open terrain, it stands as a singular achievement in modern vehicle design—a road-ready concept car brought to life.
