RARE AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL 1965 MEYERS MANX DUNE BUGGY *M2493J822S* 1968 MANX BODYMEYERS MANX "THE HOLY GRAIL" OF COLLECTIBLE DUNE BUGGYSThis Rare And Authentic Street Legal Meyers Manx Dune Buggy Was Built On A 1965 VW Pan And Is Titled The Same. The Fiberglass Dune Buggy Body Was Built By Bruce Meyers When He Still Operated His Company "B.F. Meyers & Company" In October 1968 And Has The Data Plate Behind The Seats On The Front Of The Hump Between The Battery Box Well And The Spare Tire Sump As Shown In The Pictures To Back Up And Verify This Information. The Reinforcing Tube Under The Fenders Is Also Present Along With The Front And Rear Manx Badges. The Serial Number Has Been Authenticated And Is Registered In The Meyers Manx Registry. This Buggy Is Currently Registered In My Name. The New Owner Can Have This Information Transfered Into Their Name After Purchasing This BuggyThe Data Plate Reads: Meyers Manx B.F. MEYERS & COMPANY FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CALIF. SER. NO. M2493J822SSerial Number Breakdown. M = Manx 2493 = Production Number J = Month Of Production: October 8 = Year Of Production: 1968 22S = Original Body Color: Yuma Yellow I Feel This Dune Buggy As It Sits Is Close To The Way It Was When It Was Originally Built With The Exception Of The Paint, Dash And a Few Other Odds and Ins. I Was Going To Finish Restoring This Buggy And As Far As The Mechanical Part Everything Has Been taken Care Of. It Has a 1600CC Dual Port VW Engine With Dual Dellorto DRLA Carbs And A Mild Cam That Produces Plenty Of Power. The Engine Was Rebuilt Approx 1 Year Ago And Runs Great. The Clutch, Pressure Plate And Throw-out Bearing Was Also Replaced. The 4 Speed Transmission Shifts And Performs Perfectly. It Has a Hurst Shifter. The Front And Rear Shocks Were Replaced Last Week. The Front End And Steering Is Tight With No Play It Does Not Drift While Driving Down The Road. The Buggy Along With The Floor Pans Are Rust Free And It Needs Nothing.All Of This Being Said All This Rare Buggy Needs Is Cosmetics. It Still Looks Good And Can Be Driven While Finishing The Restoration.The Color Is Currently Red With Silver Metal-Flake. The Paint Does Not Look Bad It Is Shiney With A Couple Of Chips As Shown In The Last Two Pictures. I was Going To Repaint It Its Original Rare Color YUMA YELLOW. The Body Is In Excellent Condition With No Cracks In The Fiberglass. There Is Also No Stress Cracks Visible In The Gell Coat. The Dash Is Made Of Aluminum. I Feel This May Have Been Built And Installed When The Buggy Was Originally Built. A New Manx Style Dash Can Be Purchased Online At A Very Decent Price ($130). The Steering Columum Has Been Upgraded From The Original 65 Model To A Newer Early 70's Model That Locks Which Is Great To Discourage Theft. I Was Going To Replace The Seats And Install Indoor Outdoor Carpet. I Was Also Going To Install A New Chrome Kit On The Motor. Again This Can Be Purchased Here On Ebay At A Very Good Price. The Chrome Fan Shroud Is In Very Good Condition And Does Not Need Replacing. The Only Other Things I Can think Of That Needs Replacing Is The VW Tail light Lens And The Chrome Headlight Cases Also The Exhaust System To Finish Out The Motor.This Buggy Can Be Restored Cosmetically For Around $2000.00 Including The Paint. More If You Go Wild With Everything. Less If You Do The Work Yourself. At This Stage You Can Make This Buggy Your Own And Install Everything That Fits Your Personality As Far As Color, Wheels, Tires And Accessories While Still Owning An Original Meyers Manx Dune BuggyThis Buggy Would Make A Great Winter Project For Yourself Or Father Son/Daughter.As You Are Aware This Is A Very Rare Highly Collectible And Valuable Dune Buggy That Will Only Increase In Value Over Time Making This A Very Sound Investment.BID WITH CONFIDENCE YOU WILL BE PLEASEDIF THIS DUNE BUGGY DOES NOT SALE BY THE END OF THIS AUCTION PERIOD I WILL RESTORE IT TO ITS INTENDED ORIGINAL STATE AND RELIST IT FOR SALE AT A PRICE THIS RARE BUGGY DEMANDS.Please Email Me With Any Questions.Terms, A $500.00 Non Refundable Deposit To Be Paid Via Paypal Within 48 hours Of Auction Closing.
