VW Dune Buggy Parts 4012
Browse VW Dune Buggy parts at CIP1 and find restoration, maintenance, and performance parts for Volkswagen-based dune buggies, beach buggies, Meyers Manx-style buggies, Baja Bugs, and sand rails. Most classic VW dune buggies are built using Volkswagen Beetle chassis, suspension, engine, brake, and transaxle components, combined with lightweight fiberglass or custom off-road bodywork.
VW dune buggies became popular in the 1960s California surf and off-road scene, with the Meyers Manx helping define the fiberglass beach buggy look after Bruce Meyers completed his first Manx in 1964. Because many dune buggies are kit cars or custom builds, fitment often depends on the donor Beetle chassis year, wheel bolt pattern, front suspension type, rear suspension type, brake setup, engine size, and body style. CIP1 offers a large selection of Volkswagen dune buggy parts and accessories, including engine parts, brake parts, suspension parts, steering parts, rubber seals, electrical components, lighting parts, wheels, seats, mirrors, body hardware, and vintage VW restoration components.
Select your VW Dune Buggy year and style below to browse parts for your vehicle, whether you are maintaining a Beach Buggy, restoring a Meyers Manx-style build, upgrading a Baja Bug, building a Sand Rail, or replacing worn Volkswagen chassis and drivetrain parts.
