If only one car were to symbolize California it would be this MANX Buggy. The story begins in 1964. The hippie movement had begun and Bruce Meyers was a part of it. The boy was wearing flower shirts, smoking the fun stuff and spending his life on the beach. He was also good with his hands and made surfboards and resin boats. One day he saw a skinless Jeep jumping from dune to dune. He decided to make his own machine, adapting a resin body to a frame and integrating a VW Beetle engine. The dune buggy was born and its success soon spread to the world.

    Great reproduction of a car that I always wanted but could never afford at the time.

    Hands down these buggies are real detail right down to the engine. I remember these Buggies when I lived in Palos Verdes Penninsula, California in the late 60's. Thanks for the sweet memories.
