I never knew much about the man, or even the off-roading community but back in 1970 I built a knock off buggy on a 1966 VW pan.
The smiles per dollar ratio was incredible!David K - 2-19-2021 at 03:22 PM
What a legacy and what a life!
My family owned two Meyers Manx VWs... no photos of the first (1968), but the second (1972) became my first car to drive and take to Baja, once I was
16...

Loosing a lot of legends from that era... They built the cars and racing that we enjoy today. What an amazing design and they are very sought after
buggy still today. BajaParrothead - 2-19-2021 at 11:12 PM

I'm in the final stages of a complete build on a 1964 pan. It's been a lot of fun. It should be going south this summer. John Harper - 2-20-2021 at 06:43 AM
My first car was a 1962 VW dune buggy I bought for $200 from a friend of my dad's, with my own money!. Not sure if it was a Meyers or not. I loved
it, mom hated it. She actually subsidized me to sell it and buy a 1963 VW bug for $600 a couple months later. I put up $300, and she put up $300. A
deal is a deal. Sold the dune buggy for $700 to a guy that worked with me at the local Safeway. That was only the first of many more VWs in my
earlier life.
