For Sale: 1962 Volkswagen Dune Buggy in Kentwood, Michigan

Introducing a stunning 1962 Volkswagen Dune Buggy that has been beautifully modified with updates to the exterior, interior and drivetrain. This car has a clean title and has been lovingly cared for by its owner for the past 5 years. It runs great and has mainly been used for car shows. This gorgeous red buggy is truly a one-of-a-kind classic with a very high end build.
This is a 1962 Volkswagen Beetle that has been converted into a world-class dune buggy. It uses a nostalgia fiberglass body, tubular modern chassis, a steering support, windshield and side pods sourced from Berrien Buggy. It has the original red gel coat from when it was built and remains in excellent condition.
Exterior: this car was a brand new build as of 5 years ago and was dialed into what you see today. It has headlights with LED halos and integrated turn signals, rear LED tail lights with functioning turn signals as well, led license plate surround and billet side view mirrors. The hard top is removable with about six screws. It is a very high quality top and has a lot of room inside and it's very easy to get in and out of this buggy. It has the integrated side pods that clean up the look. Chrome wheels with newer tires. I would give the outside of this buggy a 9 out of 10. I can't find anything wrong with it other than the exhaust header has some purpling in the Chrome. Which is something that's nearly impossible to avoid, but also very common.

Interior: The interior has a custom-made rear seat with seat belts front and back, it has Pro-Car adjustable front seats. The instrumentation is stock Volkswagen cluster; it has a sport 3 spoke steering wheel. The interior is clean and tidy and very well put together. This is a family-ready vehicle with plenty of room but you can still have a ton of fun. This buggy does not have a roll bar but they are available aftermarket. This buggy was primarily used with the top in place. I would give the interior a 9 out of 10.

Mechanical: this is where this buggy shines! This will absolutely start very easily with a pump of the gas pedal. It has a ported and polished 1835cc Volkswagen engine with a 110 camshaft and has lapped cylinders, twin 40 IDF carburetors that have been correctly jetted and dialed in, Pertronix electronic ignition with epoxy filled ignition coil. The header style exhaust gives good power and back pressure without being loud and annoying. The valve train was adjusted with valve lash caps and rocker shaft shims. The front end is all stock Volkswagen. It has KYB shocks all around and the gas tank has been relocated in the correct factory Volkswagen location under the hood. The entire brake system is new including the master cylinder and it has an e-brake in the correct location between the seats. The entire transaxle was gone through and it has the more modern CV shafts with rubber boots. It also has newer tires in the front and rear. I would give this mechanical rating a 9 out of 10. This thing runs, drives, stops and pulls perfectly.

This is a relatively new build Volkswagen has of 5 years ago but it has been used quite frequently for car shows and weekend cruises. This Buggy comes with a lot of paperwork on the build. This is not just a run-of-the-mill converted Volkswagen beetle on a rusty old pan, this is an assembly line quality built from the ground up dune buggy that has a ton of potential and a lot of life and will not give you constant headaches and problems. Comes with a front tow bar, car cover and large file of receipts and documentation.
