Volkswagen-Powered Thunder Bug Dune buggy

This robust and vintage 1971 Volkswagen-powered Dune buggy, known as the Thunder Bug, is a distinct piece of automotive history. Assembled circa 1971 using one of approximately 50 fiberglass bodies designed by Bugformance, this California native has seen limited use since being placed in storage around 1982. The seller acquired it recently in March 2024, with subsequent work reported on the vehicle's engine following its long sabbatical. Now residing in Sacramento, California, and currently active for auction, this rare Thunder Bug offers a unique opportunity to own a slice of vintage Volkswagen off-road history.
