We have had it for ~10 years.
We had the body off a few years ago, and had the wiring re-done, new carpet, cant remember everything. Also went through the motor.
Its got a nice set of headers, sounds great, very aggressive. Runs great.
I just went through it this winter, to finish up the restoration.
I painted the bed and lower part of the body with truck bed liner, new roll cage padding, repainted the windshield frame, headlights, and bull bar. Dyed the seats black. New turn signals.
The paints not great, but this wasn't built as a show car, its great on the street, dirt, dunes, etc.
Looks great, and I wish I could keep it, but I have too many toys. Need the cash to finish other projects.
The snow will be gone soon. This thing always gets a lot of attention
I'm sure Im forgetting stuff, so please feel free to ask questions.

I'll give a bump for a meyers manx! Nice buggy. Is this a T1 swing axle chassis or IRS? Put this thing up on THESAMBA.COM and DUNEBUGGY.COM and you'll have plenty of interest.
Are these heads from the stock 1500? Single port or DP?
Good luck with the sale. I'm jealous. One of the funnest cars ever built.
