Vehicle Description
Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 21st year in the
classic and muscle car business. In 1964 Bruce Meyers finished
building the world's first street legal fiberglass dune buggy, 'Old
Red', in his California garage. Little did he know that beach
buggies, off road racing, and even the world would never be the
same again. Within 3 years his creation would be on the covers of
national magazines, shatter existing records in off-road racing,
contribute to the formation of the National Off-Road Racing
Association, and expand the auto enthusiasts definition of cool. Of
course, Steve McQueen tearing around in a Meyers Manx in 'The
Thomas Crown Affair' made the 'cool' factor seem inevitable. An
example of the genius built into this design is the liberal use of
compound curves to increase structural rigidity without unsightly
braces. This charming little roadster is a genuine 1967 Meyers Manx
and is one of only 5,280 produced. The first time we acquired this
car I was tasked with finding out if it was real. As the phone was
ringing at the Manx Registry, I noticed the e-mail address was
mrsmanx. Yes, I was speaking with Winnie Meyers and yes, she
confirmed that this was indeed Manx #0320! This running, jumping,
exhilarating piece of history is powered by a 1970 'B6' 1600cc
Volkswagen flat-four and sports front disc brakes, a fully
independent suspension, and a 4-speed manual transmission. Although
hundreds of thousands of copies were sold, only the 5,280 produced
by Bruce Meyers are historically significant and appreciating.
