not mine, but interesting..i kinda like it...

This is a 1971 Meyer Manx Sr. It is a very rare car since Meyer only built about 200 of them but this is the only one to go to Motion performance in Long Island for the Motion Mini car program. This car was used at the drag strips by Joel Rosen (owner of Motion) and Bill Mitchell (NHRA Champion) When they raced the Famous NHRA Record holder THUNDERBUG.This was the thunderbugs tow car. This car was in many magazines and is considered to be the rarest Motion of all. It is in pretty good shape but definitely showing its age.The paint is cracked and thats the worst part of the car but I would hate to paint it since it was painted by Ultra Automation, who painted all Baldwin Motion cars.The Manx runs fine and is still useing its original rear tires. The car has only 7330 original miles.It is very fun to drive. It gets lots of looks.This is a very rare opportunity to own a piece of Muscle car history! I also have the top for it. Please feel free to call or text (937)658-2717 with any questions you may have. $8,500 or possible trade..

Well known car in lots of past threads here.

a fair price for an economical summer cruiser with very cool history. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

$8500 sounds cheap..I have seen regular dune buggies go for $4-6k

If I was still accumulating stuff I would own it.

James </div></div>YEP! I had it for a few years and my son learned how to drive stick with it..We had a blast down the shore one year with it but it mostly sat in the back of the garage. Only used it maybe 5 times in 5 years..It was cool but i also have too many other things cluttering my garage so it had to go.
