Nice story. I've read he sold it after owning 6-7 years then his brother in law found it and bought it back for him a few years back.

“Actually, the only car I loved was the first car I ever bought: a 1970 VW Bug. I drove it for five or six years and moved on,” Howard says in the interview. “Then a few years ago, my brother-in-law found it in Redding, California. It had my college sticker on it. Someone was using it to deliver eggs. So he put a new engine in it and shipped it to me.”

I have no idea. Looks like a full length pan was used. Not sure if it is an Manx. Did Meyers make a four seater Manx?
