I own a flatback kit car on a ’69 vw chassis . I have owned this car for more han 30 yr’s. I don’t know who made these cars. There was also a Thames look alike. You could find the adds for these cars in the back pages of old vw magazines. I would like o who made these cars. Currently the trans axle needs to be replaced and I also need a motor. When I bought the car it came with a 1500 single port. Could someone out give me some advice or information on these cars (history, manufacuer,) anyting would be appriecated Thanks Chris.
is it for sale? even if its not, could you share some pictures?
thanks

Hey Steve,
The concept 1 molds came up for sale here in Orlando last year but I did not catch the craigslist ad. I have been looking for them since with no luck. I think it is a great looking buggy. I do hear from people who own or have owned them that they are a pain to get in and out of though. If I find the molds you will see it here on vwkitcars.com
I believe these were also made by Dune Runner Manufacturing. Pain in the butt to get out of but a fun little buggy.

Built a couple different styles as a teenager. Actually, had a “T-Bucket” styled buggy with a type three VW motor. Had a custom soft top made for it, huge tires and wheels. The color was like an electric green with heavy metal flake. A classmate traded me his ’67 Mustang with a stock 390/auto with super low miles. Must have really wanted that buggy as the Mustang was four or five times more valuable. Was a cool buggy though… Wish I still had both of them!
There’s a Facebook group for concept one buggies.. search concept one on Facebook
