about buying your older kids something to tool around your acreage
in, something to bop about between the house and the lake or the
house and the beach? Consider this 1970 VW Dune Buggy that has been
recently refurbished and has had the same loving owner for the past
five years. It is titled as a 1970 Volkswagen. The orange
fiberglass body is in overall great shape, with no major blemishes
visible. The windshield is in good, original order, the engine in
the rear is clean and accessible and there?s a small cargo area
behind the seats, perfect for a cooler, picnic basket and other
small items. This buggy rolls on newer BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A
tires, size 30x9.50R15LT tires all around. Each tire is mounted on
a vented alloy wheel. The wheels and tires are all in very good
order. Out back is a Volkswagen 1.6L flat, air-cooled four-cylinder
engine with dual exhausts. Backing it up is a four-speed manual
transmission. Inside, the car?s bucket seats are in very good
order. There?s a three-spoke, aftermarket steering wheel facing the
driver that looks very good. The shifter is in good, original
order. The lone gauge is a VDO speedometer in the center of the
instrument panel. For dune buggies built on the chassis of an
existing vehicle, the Volkswagen Beetle was commonly used as the
basis for the buggy but this particular Buggy is built on a full
custom tube chassis! The model is nicknamed Bug, therefore the term
?buggy.? The Beetle platform chassis was used because the rear
engine layout improves traction, the air-cooled engine avoids the
complexities and failure points associated with a water-cooled
engine, the front suspension was considered cheap and robust and
the spare parts from Volkswagen were cheap and readily available.
Dune buggies with glass-reinforced plastic (fiberglass) bodies come
in many shapes and sizes. The original fiberglass dune buggy was
the 1964 ?Meyers Manx? built by Bruce Meyers. Meyers designed his
fiberglass bodies as a ?kit-car,? using the Volkswagen Beetle
chassis. Many other companies worldwide have copied the original
fiberglass dune buggy. These types of dune buggies are known as
?clones.? Whether you have one house or four, this dune buggy makes
for a great runabout to transport someone or some small cargo
around your property. Swing by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to
