This is the one you want with all of the best options that are hit and miss with others you’ll see.In the 60’s and 70’s customizing your ride was all the rage and the VW chassis provided a great platform from which to create your ideal rod.  Easy to repair, inexpensive parts and loads of fun were top of the want list for drivers of this fair weather runabout.Fast forward 30 years and the venerable VW Dune Buggy had become the perfect flat tow behind for those long motorhome trips.  Perfect for around the campground, beach or desert, this buggy will tackle most any terrain.Always a Southern California car, this VW is rust free, clear title and street licensed.  It has been a motorhome companion for many years and includes many items novices will need to learn to need like a flat towbar, lots of light for dark campgrounds and a removable steering wheel for security and ease of entry/exit.
