The Buckle Sports Coupe is a fibreglass-bodied sports car which was produced in Australia by Buckle Motors from 1957 to 1959 . The 2-door coupe used a combination of Ford Zephyr Six and Ford Zephyr Mark II components, including a straight-6 engine from the Mark II.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.carpartsandmore.com.au/buckle/BuckleMotors01.htm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://microcarmuseum.com/tour/goggo-dart.html )〕 Totaling a weight of 865 kg and a top speed of 160 km/h, it also featured a box chassis frame, transverse leaf spring front suspension and a conventional Ford rear axle.〔Peter Davis, Aussie Cars, 1987, page 69〕
A total of twenty Buckles were produced, including two incomplete examples sold for racing purposes.〔 Bill Buckle, the person behind the creation of the car, would however go on to a successful business venture building Goggomobil cars in Australia, the highpoint of which was the production of the Australian designed Goggomobil Dart.〔Peter Davis, Aussie Cars, 1987, page 75〕
