So while the 'never-gonna-be-a-project' project, is in paint jail, I rescued a little yellow toy from languishing in a friends garage. He had it built about 5 years ago, put 80 miles on it and it's so fast it scared him enough to want to sell it
Which is kinda my jam I have built and owned a few Meyers Manx buggies before in off-road trim with everything from a 1600, 1941, and even a 2110 flat 4 VW. This this one is ludicrous.
Its a "Manxter" on a full length SuperBeetle pan with a Subaru 3.0l boxer puts out about 260hp stock and he had a little work done. It has a 5-speed Mendeola trans, a nice A-arm front suspension conversion, custom IRS, and Fox coil-overs all the way around. They quote 1.04G on the skid pad set up like that, and I plan on getting to at least 1.03G
I'll get it freshened up, fix a few niggly things, and planning on selling it for him, but that should take about exactly as long as it takes a 1970 El Camino to get painted

I really like that gold and I really really like those wheels in that color, but......that gold and the wheel color gold is not going to work. Have the wheels powder coated a satin metallic graphite and you'll be tits!

LF :
1) It's a '63 but not a Fuelie. It's built as a driver and meant to be, I would put a real '63 Fuelie in a museum Has a FITech throttle body on a '67 327 with AFR heads, flat-top 10:1 pistons, and a Lunati cam, 5 speed transmission, and a '67 rear suspension/brakes. I added power steering, converted to a alternator, and I'm putting in a Vintage A/C kit for him in a few weeks. It's a fun and pretty driver, but will never be the $3.5 million dollar L-88 they're trying to sell at Harrisburg this month!
2) Some Ca drivers!? If you mean 90% are oblivious, distracted, uneducated, unskilled, and trying to aggressively put a 4 ton 'off-road' truck up your butt when your riding? Ya you're almost right. I'd say more like 95%
3) It won't be original Gold for exactly that reason, but it's not nice enough to get a dark color and seems like everything else is really common. I'm gonna go for it!
4) Every car guy should build a Dune Buggy! Impracticality means FUN! No one can frown in a Dune Buggy!
Thanks WC! Those wheels were meant for another project (thats colored White) but I burned off all the tread on the 15" rallys that were on it and needed some to drive around on I have some 17" rallys I'll put on.
