Vehicle Description
Step back in time and experience the thrill of open-air motoring
with this exceptionally preserved 1969 Volkswagen Allison Daytona
Dune Buggy. As the West Coast reveled in the dune buggy craze, Ken
Allison brought the fun to the East Coast with his high-quality
creations built in Daytona Beach, Florida. Known for their
hand-laid fiberglass bodies and striking finishes, Allison Daytonas
quickly became sought-after icons, with only approximately 600 ever
built. This example, discovered in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, by a
discerning collector, represents a rare opportunity to own a
beautifully original piece of beach culture history.
This early short-wheelbase Daytona remains stunning in its original
metalflake silver and red gel coat, complemented by a brilliant
white interior. With just over 5,700 miles on the odometer, it has
been lovingly preserved, retaining its Allison-installed
components, such as wide-five slotted wheels, a pop-up gas cap
sourced from Dodge, and vintage R.E. Dietz Company lights
manufactured in New York. Adding to its charm and practicality, the
sale includes the original red convertible top and side curtains,
allowing for enjoyable drives even beyond beach days.
Powered by a reliable 1,500cc Volkswagen air-cooled flat 4-cylinder
engine paired with a 4-speed manual transaxle, this buggy delivers
53 horsepower and the kind of driving joy that defines an endless
summer. Its 4-wheel independent suspension with torsion bars and
hydraulic drum brakes ensures a smooth ride, whether on sandy dunes
or winding backroads. Ideally suited for display, rallies, or
top-down cruising, this Allison Daytona is a rare and authentic
example of a bygone era's craftsmanship and spirit. Don't miss your
chance to own this piece of automotive and beach culture
history-contact us today to make it yours!
