This Volkswagen Rail & Dune Buggy got away, but there are more like it here.

This dune buggy features a fiberglass body mounted to a Volkswagen chassis and is powered by a 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. The car is finished in metallic blue with a blue racing stripe over black and blue upholstery, and additional equipment includes a roll bar, chrome-finished 15″ Cragar wheels, drum brakes, rear coilovers, a bull bar, fender-mounted headlights, a Moroso switch panel, and a Kenwood CD stereo. This dune buggy was recently acquired by the selling dealer and is now offered with a clean North Carolina title listing the car as a 1987 Volkswagen.
