WHAT YOU ARE VEIWING IS A TOTALLY REBUILT 1974 VW DUNE BUGGY, NOT SURE OF THE BRAND OF THE BODY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A MEYERS. BUT I HAVE NO WAY OF FINDING THAT OUT, IT IS A VERY HEAVY DUTY FIBERGLASS CONSTRUCTION COMPARED TO OTHERS I HAVE SEEN AND WORKED WITH. IT HAS A 7 DIGIT VIN PLATE. THE BUGGY BODY WAS TAKEN OFF THE PAN WHEN I BOUGHT IT. FLOOR AND AXLE AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS METAL AND STEEL IS ROCK SOLID, NO RUST ON IT. FIBERGLASS WAS THE ORIGINAL WHITE GELCOAT WHEN I GOT IT. IT HAD NO CRACKS OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN FADED WHITE FINISH FROM BEING ORIGINAL AND NEVER PAINTED. SO IT WAS SOLID TO START WITH. I REPLACED OR REBUILT JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. WHEN I HAD THE BODY OFF, I REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE LINES, MASTER CYLINDER, WHEEL CYLINDERS, BRAKE SHOES AND WHEEL BEARINGS AND SEALS, REPLACED THE GAS AND CLUTCH CABLES, THEN I REPLACED ALL 4 SHOCKS, ADDED NEW 17 INCH WHEELS AND TIRES, ALSO INSTALLED A NEW CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE AND THROW OUT BEARING. THE MOTOR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE SO I JUST CHANGED THE OIL, REPLACED THE OIL COOLER SEALS, AND INTAKE BOOTS AND PLUG WIRES, DETAILED THE REST OF THE MOTOR AND ADDED SOME CHROME PIECES AND NEW HEADERS, MOTOR RUNS GREAT, TRANS SHIFTS GREAT, NO POPPING OUT OF GEAR OR GRINDING, THIS IS A VERY SOLID NICE RUNNING BUGGY. I CUSTOM PAINTED THE BODY WITH BASE/ CLEAR COAT, THE COLOR IS CALLED TOXIC TOMATO. IT IS A VERY SHARP TOMATO ORANGE PEARL, I THEN AIRBRUSHED THE PICTURE OF THE TOMATO ON THE HOOD AND NAMED THE BUGGY TOXIC TOMATO THEN ADDED GOLD PEARL FLAMES ON THE FRONT. ALL OF IT HAS 5 COATS OF CLEAR OVER IT AND THEN COLOR SANDED AND BUFFED, I AM A RETIRED MECHANIC AND CUSTOM PAINTER WITH OVER 30 YRS EXPERIENCE. AND STILL HAVE A SMALL SHOP WHERE I DO CUSTOM PAINT WORK EVERY NOW AND THEN. I MOSTLY BUY VW BUGS AND DUNE BUGGYS, RAIL BUGGIES ETC, AND RESTORE THEM FOR RESALE. I PUT ALOT OF HRS IN ONE OF THESE PROJECTS.. I REPLACED THE FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL/BRAKE LIGHTS WITH LED LIGHTS. HAD A NEW WINDSHIELD CUT FOR IT. THE ORIGINAL HAD A BIG SCRATCH IN IT. THE INTERIOR IS ALL NEW WITH SCAT SEAT TRACKS THAT SLIDE/ ADJUST ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. NEW FIBERGLASS SEATS WITH PADDED COVERS, NEW STEERING WHEEL. HORN BUTTON, VOLT GAUGE, AND EMPI SHIFTER WITH NEW SHIFT COUPLER BUSHINGS, IT HAS LITTLE FIBERGLASS TOMATOS ON THE DASH, ONE IS JSUT A BOLT COVER AND THE OTHER IS THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH.. LOOKS PRETTY COOL! IT HAS A NEW JVC AM/FM/ CD PLAYER WITH 4 SPEAKERS. INTERIOR LIGHT UNDER THE DASH, NEW BATTERY, SPEEDO WORKS BUT IT HAS NO GAS GAUGE. ONE COULD BE ADDED BUT YOU WOULD NEED A SENDER UNIT IN THE TANK, I JUST OPEN THE GAS LID ON THE HOOD AND CHECK THE LEVEL THAT WAY AND COUNT THE MILES TILL I NEED GAS AGAIN. NOT A BIG ISSUE.AS THIS IS NOT AN EVERY DAY DRIVING TYPE OF CAR. I THINK I LISTED EVERYTHING, THERE ISNT THAT MUCH TOO THESE CARS TO BEGIN WITH . BUT EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN APART AND PUT BACK TOGETHER THE RIGHT WAY. RUNS GREAT. GETS ALOT OF ATTENTION. ALL OF THE BOLTS WERE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL AS WELL. SO NO WORRIES ABOUT BODY AND TRIM BOLTS RUSTING AWAY. IT HAS SEATBELTS, 1600 DUAL PORT MOTOR, 1965 PAN AND FRONT END WITH A 1974 MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION. IM PROBABLY MISSING SOMETHING, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK. I HAVE ALOT OF TIME AND MONEY IN THIS BUGGY. THEY ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION, I KNOW IM SELLING IT AT THE WRONG TIME OF YEAR, BUT IM PUTTING IT OUT THERE. IF IT DOESNT SELL ILL JUST KEEP IT IN MY STORAGE UNTIL SPRING COMES BACK AROUND HERE... IM ALSO INTERESTED IN TAKING A VW RAIL BUGGY IN ON PARTIAL TRADE, OR A CAL LOOK VW BEETLE 1972 OR OLDER IF YOU HAVE A TRADE IN ON THIS BEAUTIFUL DUNE BUGGY! ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. IM RETIRED AND AVAILABLE ANYTIME TO SHOW THIS BUGGY. ITS ALSO LISTED LOCALLY AS WELL. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
