The seller offers for sale a 1965 Volkswagen Ruska Super Buggy, fitted with a brand-new 1912 cc engine and numerous technical upgrades. The rebuilt motor features double Weber carburettors, 123 electronic ignition, an electric fuel pump, oil cooler, Porsche-style cooling, and performance cylinder heads. The setup produces an impressive and sporty sound through a custom exhaust system. The buggy rides on Porsche Fuchs wheels, with front disc brakes and independent rear suspension for improved control. Inside, new Sparco sport seats have been installed, and the car is equipped with a soft top for weather protection. The raised chassis gives the car a tough off-road look, while a set of off-road tyres is included for extra fun. The engine starts easily and runs well, though the paint has some damage on the front right side. This is a rare and exciting example for anyone looking for a performance-oriented buggy with strong personality and presence.
The Ruska Super Buggy is one of the most iconic dune buggies based on the classic Volkswagen Beetle platform. Built in the Netherlands, these buggies captured the free-spirited style of the 1960s and 1970s while offering reliable VW engineering. Lightweight, durable, and endlessly customisable, they became popular across Europe for both road and off-road driving. Today, well-maintained or upgraded examples like this one are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Combining nostalgia with modern mechanical performance, this Buggy offers a thrilling open-air driving experience.
