A Meyers Manx – Because Sometimes, a Volkswagen Just Won’t Cut the Mustard!”
Ah, the year 1977: era of disco balls, flared trousers, and that delightful year when we first witnessed Star Wars’ galactic greatness. Just like Darth Vader surprising his son with a “Casual Friday” reveal, we’re here to unveil a jaw-dropping marvel from that same era. No light-saber necessary.

Handy Meyers Manx Look that’s Still Funky After All These Years
This refurbished Hollywood-bright, metallic orange Meyers Manx is more surprising than a pet rock coming to life. Burbling with a registry authentication number 1489, its fiberglass body nestles comfortably on a 1977 Volkswagen pan. Is it suitable to show up at a vintage prom night? Most certainly.
Pedal to the Metal in Flashy Performance
Under the hood is a replacement 1.6-liter flat-four, paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. A nod to the individualism of the year 1977, when Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” poured from every 8-track. Buckle up (oops, we’re not supposed to say that, right?)—Prepare for lift-off, then. This is the year the Voyager I was launched—the same underlining spirit of exploration lives through this Manx. Boldly go where no Manx has gone before!
Comfort and Style – As Unrelated as Oil & Vinegar, Yet Mixed Just Right
Contributing to the vehicular mélange are freshly upholstered bucket seats, an oil pressure gauge, and a fuel level gauge implying a sense of organized chaos as they nestle in obsidian black. In the center lies the showstopper – a 90-mph speedometer. Its reading could indicate how fast Jimmy Carter sprinted out of the Oval Office after a peanut sighting, or it could just be reading your pulse when you sit in the driver’s seat—quiver ‘neath your cut-off blue jean shorts.
Now readers, you must be quaking like Nixon’s knees post-Watergate hearing, yearning to uncover more about this grand gesture of vehicular chutzpah. So we encourage, nay, implore you to follow this link.
Do excuse us though; we’ve left an orange crate somewhere. Until next time, this is yours truly, Victor Vintage Vaughn, signing off with a sardonic smirk, earmarking yet another day in vehicular Nirvana.
