MAN! I remember flying a plane on my own the 1st time at 5yrs old and had a coloring book of that cartoon with this dune buggy... What a cool vid with the doggy donuts and slideshow!
Wow I took a little break from the computer and kicked it back on to this little gem of a car, I remember when these came out at the height of my model car building career in I believe 1967 or possibly late 66? Lotta years gone by since them, I remember the diagrams to shorten the pans being in Hot Rod magazine!
What an awesome find. SO many great details on that car! I remember how popular those were back in the day. As a kid, I even had a couple of Tonka toy copies.
Very nice! Seen so many different types over the years. I had a neighbour that was building a berry mini T then went to Nam and never came back. A high school friend now has it , he should have it done soon corrona permiting.
Such a special car, glad to see you use it like it was meant to be used while you have it! Nice work bringing the little details together on it , I'm sure the next owner will appreciate your commitment its history
Super Cool 😎 Definitely one of my all time dream rides. Actually got to work the Baja twice in 2005 and 2006. Was a mechanic chasing the Wide Open Baja buggies through the entire course. It’s no joke now and was certainly no joke back then. Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Like no other I’ve ever seen. Love all the documents. Met Mr Myers at The Horsepower Ranch, while there. Thanks for sharing 😎👍🏆❤️
Wow Randy that is a cool find my brothers were into dune buggies like that nothing like that but most of them are like Volkswagens with cut off front ends in the motors hanging out the back
very cool thanks for sharing !! i may have this cars sister car lol... mine is a green 68 no tag on the registry ... its on the 64 pan its always been on... ive owned it since 2002 and restored it in 2014... LOVE IT
Two of my uncles each had one of those we took one down into the mud one day come back with the whole dune buggy muddy inside and out we were covered with mud boy we got a lot of looks when we drove through town that day
Soooooooooo cool I love dune buggies. All I ever had was a '68 baja I put bus transaxle in with an engine from a porsche 911. Goofy carb set up too. 2 Holley/Weber 5200's on a custom built intake. Sure was fun.
The weird thing is the price of these things. Buy a kit from Meyers for $4800 and build your own for around $20,000-$25,000 complete brand new or buy an old Meyers Manx for what reason? Make your own memories......Had a knock off back in 2001 and it was fun and it cost less than $4000.
@@Carchaeology I get history but since you can still buy a Manx dune buggy which is numbered and pretty much cheaper and built the way you want and cheaper. They both are pretty much identical..but if you are buying a 1969 Dodge charger against a 2010 Dodge charger I would go old school.
@@johncaban4310 the thing is, they really aren’t the same, especially when it comes to the parts and details. Also collectors know and care about that history, and the value is affected by that. Look at it like a quarter. A new quarter is worth 25 cents , but an old quarter in mint condition can be worth a hundred bucks...why? Because history matters, rarity matters, and condition matters. It all depends on what turns you on. If your plan is to go beat a Manx on the trails of Baja...go with something new. If you are a collector that is after rarity and condition, vintage is the only way.
Wow thats in amazing shape

Every cool, when you first started sharing it on Instagram I was blown away, very unique vw
Truly an icon from the year I was born.

Baja Bugs! Those are wicked fun!

Yeah, That car is an amazing example of the Dune Buggy scene!
Great video Randy! 👏🏼
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love that dune buggy.
Those Dune Buggies were so cool! Would love to have one, don't see them in WI very often anymore.

JUST WOW!!!!!
That's in great shape. I prefer the original dog dish caps on the wheels. But not hating this at all. Their for sharing
I tend to agree, but the original builder Craig put these on back in the 70s at the latest , so the Porsche nipple caps stay.
@@Carchaeology I was just basing it off of some of the early pics but yes it looks fine the way it sits it truly is a unique piece
👍🏼Man O' Manx-ischewitz !!!!✌🏼
Speed Buggy!
Vroomchickabaaaa....
What a beautiful Manx! Do you still have the top?
No top...that was removed long ago and the off road lights fitted to the roll bar.
Reminds me of that cartoon with the talking dune buggy I think his name was speedy LOL
Is it green and water park band-aid?
Really dig the wheels could you tell me what type they are bew to buggys but am about to get a sanddancer brougham
*im new to buggys
These are just widened VW wheels with Porsche hubcaps.
So the carbs have their own oil bath air cleaners. Then the air filter on the rollbar isn't used?
Yes, the air filter on the roll bar was not in use after conversion to dual carbs at some point in its history.
Carchaeology what brand of floormats are those?
Wolfsburg West
Thank you very much

Different strokes for different folks. Some folks appreciate history, some don’t. Both are fine choices. For me? I’m goin old school!
