The Stark made a bit of a splash back around 2013, when Smisek seems to have finished the first one, with plans to sell these as kits by 2014, plans that don’t seem to have actually come to fruition. The packaging is clever in a practical way, too: there’s storage up front, under the hood, and there also appears to be a rear compartment over the transaxle, as well as what looks like an actually useable back seat – something not common at all in most fiberglass dune buggy kits. The very open and flared wheelarches evoke classic fiberglass dune buggy shapes, the door hand’s hemispherical indentation somehow reads very Volkswagen, the grille-less front end with the vaguely U-shaped indentation ever so slightly suggests a Baja Beetle’s blunt nose and hoodline, and yet the whole shape reads more pickup truck-like. One of the world’s most iconic and recognizable vehicles gets big changes in 2023, as the do-it-yourself Meyers Manx dune buggy kit car adds new features for the first time since. It feels modern, but has certain cues that still have a bit of old-school dune buggy/VW-ness, all without being even remotely retro. The dune buggy does roll freely brake and clutch condition are. The engine will come with the vehicle but the seller has over a dozen VW parts cars on site if a different motor is desired. The final design is very clever and sleek, I think. an electric car is parked next to a vw buggy in the grass with another vehicle a car parked in front of a house with a red seat on its side. Here’s the next vehicle we’ll feature, which is a rare Howell Craft VW-based dune buggy, modeled to resemble the popular Meyers-Manx kits of the era.
