This Meyers Manx dune buggy was commissioned by the selling dealer in 2014 and built in the style of Bruce Meyers’ “Old Red” Manx prototype using a Kick-Out fiberglass body finished in red and a 1966 Volkswagen Beetle chassis. Power is provided by a 1,600cc Volkswagen flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle, and additional equipment includes a Manx Sidewinder exhaust system, a chrome roll bar and front bumper, black vinyl bucket seats, and a white bikini top. Service in preparation for the sale included replacing the seat backs, seat belts, flywheel, clutch, throw-out bearing, front brakes, and carburetor as well as repainting the exhaust, resealing the push-rod tubes, and changing the oil. This Manx is now offered with its original sales contract, service records, a limited-edition surfboard, and a clean Minnesota title.
