Owner's Pitch
"Iconic 1965 VW Meyers Manx clone perfect for the Southern California lifestyle. Featuring the classic air-cooled engine and shortened chassis, this street-legal buggy offers timeless style and mechanical simplicity. A head-turning weekend cruiser that captures the essence of 60s beach culture. Well-priced for an enthusiast looking for vintage fun without the 'authentic' premium."

Market Highlights
- The Collector Transition: While standard 1960s economy cars have largely depreciated, the Meyers Manx clone has transitioned into a lifestyle collectible. In 2026, the demand for simple, analog driving experiences has kept the values of air-cooled VW kits remarkably resilient, particularly in fair-weather climates.
- Regional Dominance: Southern California, specifically the Inland Empire and Menifee area, remains the global epicenter for dune buggy culture. This localized demand creates a 'SoCal Premium,' where vehicles can command 20-30% more than in colder, rust-prone regions where open-top cars are less practical.
- Clone Value Proposition: An original, authenticated Bruce Meyers-signed Manx can often exceed $30,000. A high-quality 'Clone' provides the exact same aesthetic and performance profile at a much more accessible price point, making $15,000 a sweet spot for both buyers and sellers in the current market.
