I would say it is a Meyers Manx Dune Buggy |

In fact it's a Thunder Bug. "Thunder Bug was Custom Built mold made by Clay Diekmann and Tony Vierra of Manx House (a dune buggy shop) in 1968 in Sunnyvale California. The shop later became known as Bugformance. There were only 50-70 of these bodies produced. They were handlaid fiberglass construction with chopper gun re-inforcements. They were designed to be the same dimensions as it's cousin the Manx. Tailbox was raised for more clearance. Hood appears designed for more tank clearance. Dash and hood thicker than most manx kits. Interior surfaces were textured . Later versions were molded with tube under fender for wiring harness. Front angles made for Sqaureback Turn signals and rear panels for oval tailights." - http://www.dunebuggyarchives.com/ThunderBug Link to "www.dunebuggyarchives.com" http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=291540 http://www.dunebuggyarchives.com/forum/topic_show.pl?tid=2265 |
