1972 Volkswagen Dune Buggy Manx 4-Seats

For sale a very wealthy car collector, is this beautiful Volkswagen-powered Dune Buggy. After extensive research, it appears to be a Fiber-Tech body but since there are no markings, I can't be sure. It IS a true time capsule, untouched and in climate-controlled storage since 1980. Built in 1972, then used sparingly until 1980 when it was put into storage. Everything on it except for the battery (new) is all original. The Gel Coat has been polished up and is slick as glass in most places. One small spot of discoloration on the front. The factory Gel Coat is in Light Blue with a very light Pink splatter design; I have never seen another one like this, it's very unique. Built from a early swing axle VW Beetle pan, it has a 1600cc Dual Port motor that after a good servicing runs like new, and it's very powerful! The gas tank has been cleaned out, brakes bled. The tires are the original Dune Buggy tires on 10 inch wide chrome wheels with stock hubcaps; they have lots of tread, but as they are over 40 years old, the rear ones have a lot of cracking on the sidewall and should be replaced. If you have ever owned or driven one of these neat little cars you know what fun they are to drive. These little Buggies have been in demand ever since Bruce Meyers built the first one in his garage, beginning the most popular "Kit Car" that there has ever been. Many people including myself would buy an old Bug and make a Dune Buggy out of it. And if you have ever built one you also know that it's a lot of work. This little jewel is a true survivor, having never been altered since new. The original Diamond Tuck upholstery is very beautiful, and is like new with no signs of wear and no rips or tears. A true 70's classic, Diamond Tuck never goes out of style. The interior also has a very nice custom-made carpet kit. Always been taken very good care of, stored in climate-controlled storage, owned by one older adult since it was new. As you can see by the pictures this is a car that you will be very proud to own. Take it to your local "Bug In" and watch people admire it. It is getting harder and harder to find nice "original" Dune Buggies.
