1967 Meyers Manx—THE ORIGINAL Dune Buggy
The Meyers Manx isn’t just a dune buggy; it’s a legend. Known as the vehicle that revolutionized off-road fun, the Meyers Manx became a cultural icon after starring alongside Steve McQueen in The Thomas Crown Affair. Bruce Meyers's groundbreaking design transformed the humble VW Beetle into a high-performance machine with a striking fiberglass body, and this 1967 Manx—certified as an original—is a remarkable example of the breed.
Outstanding from Top to Bottom
Paint and Body
This Manx shines like it’s straight from the showroom floor in 1967. Its deep red finish is vibrant and smooth, making it a showstopper wherever it goes. The body proudly displays its authentication number, proving it’s a registered and certified original Manx.
Chrome and stainless trim gleam with exceptional care, and the underside is clean with a recent updating to its original welding, ensuring it’s as solid as it is stylish.
Interior
The high-back black vinyl seats are in excellent condition, providing comfort and style to match the car’s sporty exterior. The snap-on convertible top, in very nice condition, attaches seamlessly to the front and rear roll bars.
All gauges, lights, wipers, and turn signals are fully functional, making this car ready for the road (or the dunes). The horn needs some attention—but let’s be honest, leading the pack doesn’t require a horn!
Engine
Power comes from a 1915cc dual-port VW engine with twin 44 IDF Weber carburetors. This setup delivers plenty of zip for any adventure—whether it’s a casual cruise to the local ice cream shop or a spirited drive along the Baja peninsula.
Transmission
Shifting gears is effortless with the smooth 4-speed manual transmission, enhancing the joy of every drive.
Suspension and Tires
This Manx is equipped with a lightweight aluminum front beam with dropped spindles, while the rear features a Freeway Flyer axle for a more spirited ride.
Modern 15” aluminum wheels with 145R15 front tires and 275R15 rears give it a confident stance. The chrome high-performance exhaust ties the look together, perfectly complementing the engine’s polished components.
A Legend That’s Fun to Own and Drive
Owning a true Meyers Manx is like holding a piece of automotive history—a vehicle revered by off-road enthusiasts and admired by collectors. It’s as exclusive as a Ferrari for sports car lovers or a Rolls-Royce for the elite, but unlike those luxury icons, the Manx is surprisingly affordable.
And it’s not just for show. This Manx is as practical as it is fun. From off-road trails to quick errands around town, every drive is a new adventure. Whether you’re exploring dunes or grabbing a coffee, you’ll turn heads and spark smiles wherever you go.
But don’t wait—this original Manx won’t last long!
