the fiberglass body applied to the shortened chassis of Volkswagen
Beetles, Meyers Manx are known for being the original fiberglass
Dune Buggy.
The car line dominated dune racing in its time, breaking records
immediately. The "Manx" name for the shortened, taller-wheeled,
more maneuverable VW Beetle mods refers to and derives from the
comparably stubby Manx cat.
B.F. Meyers & Company tag is proudly represented in between the
driver and passenger seat.
The fiberglass body is wrapped in a stunning Burgundy Metallic
which does not do justice through pictures. Get this baby in some
sunlight and you really see the metallic come to life. In the shade
it's one of those colors that changes based on angle. BF Goodrich
Radials wrap around steels with chrome center caps. A Corvette gas
tank cap has been fitted as the seller's touch.
Equipped with a 1776CC Volkswagen engine paired to a 4 speed manual
with overdrive, this Manx is ready to cruise the streets. A mild
cam helps give the engine a rumble that makes you grin ear-to-ear
as you rev it up. The EMPI Carburetor pulls in air and gas to feed
the engine. Rear driveshafts ensure the estimated 145-150hp engines
puts the power down promptly.
The interior is very nicely finished with two-tone beige and
burgundy seats. White-faced Dolphin gauges rest behind Gold bezels
and give a nice touch to the interior. Four speakers and a AM/FM
radio keep your ears stimulated when the 1776cc engine and wind
aren't. An amplifier for the radio and the battery rest underneath
the rear seat. A bimini top comes along.
Titled as a 1973 Volkswagen, we don't see real Meyers Manx often
and we don't expect this one to last long!
