    In the mid 70's my friend traded a restored 1954 Chevy station wagon to Bruce Meyers for a Meyers Tow'd . Bruce was selling off and closing business in Santa Ana Ca. A few yrs later my father in law bought the Tow'd . One day, he said "This was the first Tow'd! Vin 00001! I owned a real Meyers Manx built on my wife's 1960 VW chassis.

    Bruce Meyers was familiar with fiberglass because he had built boats.
    He learned the nuances of working with fiberglass through his experience in boat building. He was an engineer and fiberglass boat builder in Southern California. His boat-building background provided him with the skills needed to construct the first fiberglass-bodied dune buggy.

    Glad to hear someone actually point out that back in the 60s and 70s a 5-10 year old car was considered worm out.
    Cars may be more complicated now but are in most cases infinitely more reliable

      @jnywd8450 and how many were pieced together from multiple cars and how many had the engine replaced or rebuilt? I mean that was my Dad's story. 1970s parking lot full of early 60s cars which were bought for Almost nothing and required a lot of effort to keep running.
      Now a 10 year old car still has value unless it has in excess of 200kmi and even then a few cars are still valuable at that milage.

    Funny...discovered a neighbor has a buggy (not sure it's a Manx but will find out), and this shows up in my feed the next day! I'm of that age that was a California kid in the 60s and we were a VW family (at one point dad, bro, and I had Beetles, mom had a bus). Closest I came to owning a Manx was the COX .049 powered version =D I saw the Brubaker Box at LAs Auto Expo (72, 73?) and briefly thought it was the coolest thing EVER. One of my Beetles got the Baja treatment after I rolled it, and I eventually got into Rabbits and Golfs (and Jettas, Passats, CCs...). I did return to Beetle based kit cars though...I built an Adams Aero Formula Vee car from a frame kit, and competed in SCCA club events until I figured out Spec Miata was lot cheaper. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

      My brother here in the UK had a Meyers Beach Buggy in the 70's, using wheels off a Jag. It had a graphic down the side 'The Sin Bin'. The sin was that when it wouldn't start after his bakery shift (student job) I was the one who went to get it going and follow him home.

    Nice to see these as a comparison in Beetle based conversions. I'll add a couple of notes. Bruce Myers didn't use the VW pan at first but had glassed in steel mounting plates to the tub. It was proving too difficult for production and almost quit. A friend suggested mounting to a shortened pan instead. Another thing to consider is the real genius of the Manx is that it's made of 2 pieces of fiberglass. The main tub and the hood/dash piece whereas the Brubaker had many pieces to create the structure and that drove up costs. Also, the Manx is easy to climb in and out of and the Brubaker only has the one sliding door so the driver has to hop seats and shifter to get in and out. And visibility and ventilation can be problems sitting that far back and not many opening windows. But the Box sure looks cool.
    That's the difference between making millions and a few dozen.

    • @PetersenMuseum

    Im pretty sure my father's dune buggy in the 70s was a Manx. It was the same color and exact body. We lived in Illinois, and my father would drive it in the wintertime. It was a blast to ride in on the snow and ice. I believe it had 2 levers for the emergency/ parking brake. You would make a quick left turn, pulling on the left lever, flinging the vehicle around. You definitely wore seat belts riding in one of these. I have pictures of my father in a Christmas parade with my Samoed sled dog in the passeger saet wearing a Sant Claus hat. At the time, ATVs weren't around yet. These vehicles were a blast.
    It seems the Brubaker nevers seems to look its age. I remember seeing these in magazines when I was a kid. Their is something so timelessly attractive about it.

    One of the magazines, maybe Popular Science, ran article after article on the Brubaker Box. One proposed a four wheel drive version with a foot-wide belt running up the middle to power the front wheels. Why not? All they needed was some imagination and an artist’s rendering. Lots of drawings, each in a different “paint scheme”made it seem as if these were all over California, when there were only a couple of dozen!

    In my sophomore year of high school, 1966/67, I vowed my first car would be to build a Manx. After graduation in 1969 I bought a metallic red knock-off Manx body and a slightly damaged 1964 VW. Three months later my Manx stood out among its counterparts with a Sting Ray Corvette gas tank cover centered in the hood and 'pairs' of VW rear taillights and an "Aooga" horn. A near accident led to installing a roll bar and a black naugahyde top from the windshield with eyelet hooks to hold surfboards. On the dashboard, an ammeter, a new ignition switch, a 'push-button' starter and a wooden custom steering wheel. Custom bucket seats replaced stock VW seats and similar upholstery rear seat pad. This Manx could "pop a wheelie" but I mostly drove it cautiously on streets and sand dunes. Those were the days...

    @MrWombatty 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    It would've been a straight forward process to obtain that leather-look roof & front. After they've create the desired shape onto a buck (a frame of wood or metal to keep it stiff & symmetrical), the normal practice is to smooth its surface as much as possible, but in this case they covered the top half or so, with vinyl faux leather, before applying the mould-release (think it was a dusting of fine powder back then), then a mould was made from applying fibre-glass resin over the top to create a negative 'master'!

(Car and Driver?)... did a feature story on a Brubaker Box that was more _boxy_ , and built like an open-wheel racer, the body had a distinctly rectangular cross-section and featured (iirc) four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, unglazed window openings for the driver (and passenger?) to crawl through for entry/exit...

      @toomanyhobbies2011 - Every popular video draws criticisms. Please tell us what we got wrong and excuse us if we will keep @JonathanEisen-x5g forever and clone him if our marketing budget will allow it.

      Hi, thank you for your comment. We found January 1968 but we are happy to be corrected. What's your source? Many thanks!
