There's my baby. 😀😀👍👍

@SimonTekConley Год назад

My daughter loves it, and wants us to build one. Maybe one day

@steveafanador6441 Год назад

@@SimonTekConley thank you. It's not super hard. Just takes time and some money. It's a fun car to have 👍👍

Beutiful and Fun Car! Definitely Built Not Bought. Mad Respect! Are You Considering getting 5 Point Harness Seatbelts?

@AutoJunkiesGarage Год назад

Am I the only one who notice that the gas pedal is unusual?

@JohnnyRoku Год назад

It’s the classic roller pedal, most dune buggies and Baja bugs have them installed, first experience with one was in a Baja bug in childhood and it always slipped. Good times

@AutoJunkiesGarage Год назад

@@JohnnyRoku I'm aware of it but its the millennials and the gen-z are the ones who find it weird. Just Saying.

@ModelA Год назад

It is designed to be driven with bare feet. Not kidding.

@johnn9322 Год назад

@@ModelA yes and no, original VWs from the way back days all had roller pedals, I believe in the early 40s.

@autochatter Год назад

I had a roller pedal in mine too. They won't jam up like a stock one can.

@steveschmidt5574 Год назад

Your "Final Thoughts" are my favorite part of all your videos. Such good insight.

@autochatter Год назад

Awesome car! Step on top of the back tire and grab the roll bar to get in the back seat.

@johnn9322 Год назад

As a dune buggy builder/owner/driver for over a decade, I must say they are the absolute most fun car for the money. Build them for half the cost of buying any other car that’s half the fun.

@nick2k Год назад

I have a Manx clone, and it's the most fun vehicle I own. It gets "thumbs up" everywhere I go, people love it.

@bwofficial1776 Год назад

There's a guy in my state who has a dune buggy with a giant fiberglass shark almost the size of the car itself mounted on top. Bruce Myers and the Manx's development is a fascinating story, particularly how the buggy design was basically stolen from him by every little fiberglass shop because he didn't copyright/patent it fast enough. By the time he got around to submitting his patent the copies were already in wide production and it wasn't unique any more. Jeep owner tip: use the tire as a step and the roll bar as something to hold on to and swing your leg over the fender. It's all about the smiles per gallon.

@frankrodrigues7044 Год назад

Great build! Thanks for acknowledging Bruce and some of his history.

@ModelA Год назад

Zack- Dune Buggy driving tip: They are designed to be driven with bare feet. The pedal arrangement is tailored to barefoot drivers. Don't laugh- It makes a big difference. The buggy I drove had seat covers designed for drivers and passengers wearing swimwear. Thus, lots of skin on seat cover contact. So it was soft and mostly cotton cloth.

@ModelA Год назад

@Dacia Sandero guys Skin flakes are everywhere, even in your car.

@steveafanador6441 Год назад

This is my buggy and I only drive bearfoot. Can't do it in shoes 👍👍

@mrhawk1924 Год назад

Love to have this for a summer ride

@steveafanador6441 Год назад

Thanks for showing this car to the world Zack. I appreciate it very much.

IS ANY OF THESE FOR SALE? I AM INTERESTED.

@enk_10 6 месяцев назад

I have the same vehicle in my ranch, but I don't have a battery for it. how can I find the battery for this 1963 VOLKSWAGEN DUNE BUGGY?

@aseheavyindustries798 Год назад

meyers manx!

@michaeldean6709 Год назад

It's not a Manx, but one of the kmockoffs.

@rudiruttger Год назад

What a beaut!

@villarjo Год назад

Nice buggy But 2:42 you just ran a stop sign in what appears to be a school zone as evident by the soccer field and what looks like a school building at 2:47. You got a nice buggy but I do hope you don't compromise safety and respect with road regulations.

@wigletron2846 Год назад

Get a life

@Wbfuhn Год назад

I looked up dune buggies for sale and they're selling for over 10k. However you can buy a shell and then buy parts yourself. Personally I would want to build a buggy with a V8.

@gafrers Год назад

Sweeet 👌👌

@nolahahnshouse3389 Год назад

The dune buggy… If Germany decided to have a baby with America, this is what would be born.

@bwofficial1776 Год назад

The Germans actually had something similar during WWII as their Jeep competitor. It was called the Kubelwagen and was a predecessor to the VW Thing.

@mromatic17 Год назад

great video but vw beetles are anything but reliable! you have to really watch the regular car reviews episode to understand. they shake themselves out of time and they need constant maintainence to keep them going. they are really simple to work on and to learn how to keep going. You either need to know how to fix it or have a lot of money to throw to a mechanic to make it happy again, or like a lot of bug owners they lie and say that their car is super reliable but its constantly parked vuz they don't know what to do with it!

@steveafanador6441 Год назад

Yeah they can be a pain especially with temperatures. They are temperamental

@mromatic17 Год назад

@@steveafanador6441 ohh yeah i learned to drive a stick on a 73 super beetle. when it was cold it sometimes would sit there dead till it wanted to start. plus it wouldn't hold more than a half tank of gas for some reason. it was a cool car and i appreciate the design, but they are horrible to have in a cold climate!
