New beetle dune buggy?

[joseluis17g]

Yes those wheels are somewhat popular here but not that popular, the price seems a bit too expensive for me, fiberglass work here it's very cheap as hand labor it's really cheap for example I'm looking into building my own and the complete fiberglass kit of a Meyers clone is arround 600-900 dlls I suggest to you to shoot that price off and if shipping is thaaat expensive you can pay for my diesel and I can put it on the border or you can come to my house and have it shipped here so you can pick it up, as I said my house is 2-3 hours from the Texas border

Here's a link to mercadolibre which is just like eBay so you can get an idea of how expensive that thing is, keep looking in tha web page you never know when one of those babys will be up for sale

I hope this helps. I am waiting on an email from the guy telling me what shipping will be to the nearest border town, or by container.

[Derek Cobb]

If those prices listed are Peso's that is an amazing deal! If they are dollars they seem pretty damned high.
I just LOVE this design! I can just imagine this thing with some lift and beefy tires.

[heywebonya]

Is the currency USD? If so, they are very proud of their work.

I think that is pesos. I will ask him and clarify. These were the best pictures and the most credible source that I have seen so far.

It would be safe to assume pesos for the
price, the shipping fee will probably be the deal breaker - unfortunately.

Update*
SHIPPING TO NEW LAREDO $ 15,000. Oo $ 35.000 plus the kit.
I just got word about the kit plus delivery fee.

The price is pesos. So 3400ish us dollars.

[dj1978]

theese bodys are beeing made by atleast 2 companys here in guadalajara jalisco today I recceived a quote of 35000 pesos for just the fiberglass body unpainted. If anyone would like more info I can look into it .......

[Sterling VW]

These fascinate me as a blend of old and new beetle and extremely well thought out as far as fitment of hardware and latches, I like just looking at the details, look at that engine seal, and a spare tire bay. Really neat

[HeidelbergJohn4.0]

Ijust can't believe that some of these buggys haven't showed up anywhere in the states by now.

There is a new version of these buggies that has a roll back roof instead of t-tops taht I really like. I have pictures but the samba doesn't like the file format and I can't get them saved as jpg files.

I have found some more information. In addition to the information previously posted about the company in Jalisco, there is another company really close to Mexico City that is building these bodies. Here is the link to their website:

http://www.fibrasdevidrio.com.mx/videos.html

They also have a Facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/fibrasdevidrioyautos

I will post some photos as soon as I have the time but right now, I need to run out.
