This dune buggy was built using a fiberglass body mounted to a modified Volkswagen chassis, and it was purchased by the seller in 2025 as a rolling project.

A subsequent refurbishment involved refinishing the bodywork in blue and rebuilding the air-cooled 1,776cc flat-four with SCAT internal components, and replacing brake and suspension components.

The car rides on steel wheels with chrome covers and is further equipped with a four-speed manual transaxle, dual Weber carburetors, drum brakes, a roll bar, and street lighting.

The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in white vinyl.

This dune buggy is now offered in California with a clean Montana title in the seller’s name that lists the car as a 1957 Volkswagen Beetle.

The fiberglass body was refinished in blue under current ownership.
