1962 Meyers Manx

There's a buggy being sold on ebay that is claimed to be a 1962 Meyers Manx: "One of 311 produced in 1962". Several of the pictures in the ad also show that much of the underside is covered with woven fiberglass fabric, not fiberglass mat. I think "Danger Will Robinson" alarms ought to start going off. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330233837142&rd=1

printing a page from the registry on ebay for the world to see, with names, phone numbers, addresses & vehicle details I reckon could piss some guys off

The Chevys look nice

Think I'll pass on the 62 Manx :2cents:

It's like the guy's taken what could be a genuine Manx and built a 'clone' Dune Buggy out of it. Hardly what I'd call a sympathetic restoration...

Sent him a note that he should take the registry pics out . Who the heck would want their addresses posted online like that? Thats a thiefs dream.

I sent an email to ebay too. They pulled the ad, but not until after the guy had sold it for $15K. It was really an average buggy. I'm not 100% sure it was genuine. I'm glad to see it got a good price anyway.

I guess the Tiawan tin sold it

I guess some research let the buyer know it was better to lose some credibilty than pay that much for a pig in a poke! EBay Acution '62 Manx

So if I get a lot of Meyers Manx decals and place then on every component of my buggy it would be a "real" Manx? Too bad no pic of the serial number plate.

At least the names and adresses are not on this auction.

Check out the close up of the windshield,,, what is that black rubber seal between the hood & frame?

Part of it looks like a Bugshields windshield frame rubber seal and part of it looks like some kind of rubber sealing stuff out of a tube,,, not a very neat job for a so called show winner,,,,, looks to me like the fella put this on with his dick
