the fiberglass body applied to the shortened chassis of Volkswagen
Beetles, Meyers Manx are known for being the original fiberglass
Dune Buggy and handling way better than most!
The Meyers Manx dune buggy 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.
The original B.F. Meyers & Company VIN tag is proudly represented
in between the driver and passenger seat and shown in our
photos.
The slick fiberglass body is painted in a stunning Burgundy
Metallic, which really 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 1776 CC 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!
