The dash is custom made and beautiful but not the original dash, original reproduction dashes are availiable from Manx for less than 140 dollors, custom stainless steel front bumper for extra protection of the original manx body, A lot of time and expence were put into rebuilding this Manx, this Manx has never been put in the Manx registry so the lucky buyer can register it in their name with Manx for 20 dollors and be amongst the only 1500 or so that have been registered. Manx will only sell front and rear emblems to owners of a real manx so after you register this real Manx they will sell you the emblems. I hate to keep saying real so much but so many people advertise their buggys as Manxes when they are not, This is the real deal !!! The pictures of the wiring tunnels under the fenders were taken before the bottom side of the body were stripped and coated with new 3M rubberized undercoating that you can see in the pictures of the sides. ACT FAST and you could take it to the Carlile Penn. Manx show and have the legend Bruce Myers sign it himself to give it even more collectable appeal.I am not changing anything on this car so if you dont like the bumper or vintage wheels that are on it change it to your taste because I like them and am selling it as is. GOOD LUCK BIDDING.On Apr-29-10 at 05:27:28 PDT, seller added the following information:THANKS FOR ALL THE COMPLIMENTS I HAVE GOTTEN ON THE MANX !!! I HAVE HAD A FEW PEOPLE ASK ME WHAT THE RESERVE IS, SEEING THAT I HAVE TOLD THEM THAT THE RESERVE WAS 5500.00 I FEEL THE FAIR THING TO DO IS TO LOWER MY RESERVE TO 5000.00 AND LET EVERYONE BIDDING KNOW THIS, I WANT THIS AUCTION TO BE FAIR AND EVEN FOR EVERYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO OWN THIS REAL MYERS MANX DUNE BUGGY!!!!
