BaT Auction: Bugre Dune Buggy at No Reserve

This Bugre dune buggy was manufactured in Brazil and acquired by the seller in 2018. It is finished in white over a black interior and is powered by an air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle. Features include a black removable soft top, an integrated roll bar, steel wheels with chrome VW hubcaps, dual exhaust outlets, a chrome shifter handle, fixed high-back front bucket seats, and a rear bench. This dune buggy is now offered at no reserve with a clean Florida title in the seller’s name, listing the vehicle as a 1969 Volkswagen.

The fiberglass body has been repainted in white and is mounted to a Volkswagen Beetle chassis. Exterior features include a black removable soft top, an integrated body-color roll bar, dual side mirrors, twin polished exhaust outlets, and white-painted Bugre script on the sides and rear.

Steel wheels wear chrome VW hubcaps and are mounted with Goodyear Direction Touring tires up front and Maggion Big Foot rubber out back.

The interior houses two fixed-back bucket seats and a rear bench that are trimmed in black vinyl. The battery is housed below the rear seat.

A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of instrumentation consisting of a 160-km/h speedometer and gauges for fuel level and voltage. The odometer shows 34k kilometers (~21k miles), though total mileage is unknown.

The air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four features a single carburetor and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. An oil change was performed under current ownership.
