For many of us, the primary appeal of classic cars is their ability to take us back to a simpler time and you can make a pretty good argument that few classics can do a better job of that than this 2025 Volkswagen Meyers Manx Dune Buggy Tribute. Featuring a solid-looking blue fiberglass body and an assortment of chrome components that really show nicely, this open-air ride absolutely exudes nostalgia. After emerging from a 10-plus year hiatus in storage and receiving a revitalized drivetrain, it's now a very clean representation of an automotive genre that took the country by storm decades ago and is now ready for many smile-inducing future miles.
The blue vinyl interior shows only minor signs of wear, which is impressive for a car that would seem to spend so much of its time with the top down. The front bucket seats are well-padded and broad, with more pronounced backrests for support than you normally find in this segment. Up front, the dash area contains a full assembly of functional gauges to monitor the vitals and, should the skies darken while you're out putting it through its paces, the accompanying soft vinyl top is also in good shape and stands ready to protect you from the elements.
Step around to the back and you'll see that the obligatory engine cage has been removed to create a sleeker look, putting a 1776-cc air cooled flat-four engine on full display in a well-maintained bay. Fed by a period-correct one barrel carburetor that sits under a chrome air cleaner, the engine has logged fewer than 500 miles since it was professionally rebuilt with a full complement of quality components, including an Engle W90 cam, and new EMPI lifters. It's just emerging from its break-in stage, and it joins a 4-speed manual transmission that was recently rebuilt by Arizona's own Doug's Buggs-N-Bunny's to form a drivetrain that's in top notch form. Chrome spring coilovers both fore and aft heighten the visuals on this standout machine while also equipping it with increased agility.
