  • Think California in the 60s, think flower power, hippy vibes, and the Beach Buggy era. Now 87, Bruce Meyers was a pioneer of dune buggy building. With the help of a friend, he designed feather-weight fiberglass constructions that would fit onto the frame of the best-selling VW Beetle. And so the ultimate beach-mobile for a fun-loving generation of Californians was born.

    I found a new old stock EMPI Imp body stored in a barn for 35 years. It came out of the mold in 1974 and was never bolted to a frame or had any holes cut in it.
    It's stored upstairs in my shop waiting for it's turn to get built as I collect parts for it.

    There was no race for Bruce to enter in 1967. His record run down Baja in 1967 led to the invention of off road racing.

    No one mentioned you had to chop 14 inches out of the frame and weld it back together.

    The first Manx's did not use a VW chassis.

      Yes, Not the floorpan, but, it did use the front suspension, transaxle, engine, steering wheel assembly, interior and wiring.
