This unique 1971 Volkswagen dune buggy is owned by Marcel Bourgeois of Grande Dique, New Brunswick. Marcel acquired the little roadster from a gentleman from Bathurst. These buggys are very popular state side and the bodies have been made by several different manufacturers. This body is quite unique in that it is a one piece unit, the top is a imitation canvas unit however it is actually made of fibre glass and is a lift off type. The front trunk is a reverse opening job (remember those 1959 Fords) and draws a lot of attention. The interior seats four and the carpeted floor keeps down road noise. It has matching black bucket seats, custom steering wheel and other neat appointments. The buggy is powered by the world famous VW 1600 cc dual port air cooled engine which has been rebuilt and dressed up with many chrome goodies. Power go to the road through a set of white painted slot mags with Predator radial tires. When asked how he came to call us here at Gary Steeves Insurance, Marcel answered as do a lot of our new clients "a friend told me to give you people a call".           Click to view another classic customer automobile:
