What on Earth is this thing? If you haven’t heard of the Meyers Manx, we don’t blame you. This curio is based on a shortened VW Beetle chassis, and was initially designed for desert racing. The product of Californian surfer Bruce F. Meyers, the Manx does indeed look like a Beetle if you squint. This particular 1962 Meyers Manx is up for sale with a mere 35,000 miles on the clock. So, if you want something quirky and playful, give us a call.
This orange 1962 Meyers Manx reportedly sports its original gel coat paintwork, as told to us by the current owner. The vehicle truly looks distinctive, with its podded headlamps, fully exposed wheels, and minimalistic bodywork. There is a canvas top and sides, but rest assured, these are mainly cosmetic rather than functional; they won’t stop a tropical thunderstorm or snow shower. The vehicle is said to come with new 14-inch wheels and tires, which are street units at the front and off-road ones at the rear. There’s also a dual exhaust for a more sporty soundtrack. The interior of this 1962 Meyers Manx, if you can call it an interior, is a two-seat affair. Its highlights are its two seats, a twin-spoke steering wheel, minimalistic gauges, three pedals, and a wood-topped gear shifter. You’ll find some switches for lighting but little else. After all, this isn’t a modern, digital-era vehicle. So don’t expect massage seats with heating and ventilation, Apple CarPlay, or Android Auto. If you really need some tunes, a Bluetooth speaker is the way to go – just make sure that it’s a rugged, waterproof unit since the interior can and will get dirty if you drive this 1962 Meyers Manx in the right fashion.
This 1962 Meyers Manx has a 1,500cc four-cylinder engine in its tail. We’re told that the engine has been bored out and sports oversized pistons for even more punch. Power goes to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The brakes have also been reportedly redone, so you can enjoy the vehicle to the maximum.

Back in the 70s, Volkswagen was on a roll with its offerings; its air-cooled lineup of vehicles marked peace amidst troubled times. Out of all the quirky machines leaving factory floors, the Volkswagen Beetle was the king of them all. While the Beetle was iconic, it set the foundation for Bruce F Meyers to create what would be one of the most unique machines built to date, the iconic Dune buggy. Built to whizz past the toughest obstacles and come out looking stylish, owning a dune buggy is a treat. Present today is this lovely 1974 Volkswagen Meyers Manx Dune Buggy; it's a rare piece of machinery and has a reported 37,720 miles on the clock.

The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.
Chevy’s El Camino is iconically known for its coupe utility body style. Basically, the coupe utility combines the ride comfort and handling of a car’s monocoque construction with the versatility of a pickup truck. Adapted from a Chevy two-door station wagon, the El Camino appeared in 1959, to compete with Ford’s Ranchero. Five generations of El Camino were made until 1987 when the nameplate was quietly retired. If you’ve always been intrigued by this pastiche of coupe and pickup truck, consider picking up this 1980 Chevrolet El Camino as your next classic. This 53,500-mile example comes to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, so it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.
