The seller offers for sale this 1965 Volkswagen Ruska Super Buggy powered by a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine and manual gearbox. This Dutch-built buggy is a rare sight, with fewer than a thousand units ever produced, making it a sought-after piece of automotive history. It features a sport exhaust system that delivers a classic sound, wide rear tires on matching rims, and a lowered chassis with spacers for improved road grip. The paintwork is in good condition and the car remains structurally solid, while the original seats are still intact with no tears. Mechanically, it runs smoothly, starts easily, and shows no smoke or mechanical noise. The gearbox operates well, and all lights and signals are functional. According to the seller, it is a well-maintained, honest example ready to be enjoyed on the road.
The Ruska Super Buggy, based on Volkswagen Beetle underpinnings, represents the freedom and creativity of the 1960s. Built in the Netherlands by Ruska, these fiberglass-bodied buggies became icons of the dune buggy era, combining simplicity with style. Light, agile, and powered by the reliable VW flat-four, they offered pure driving fun with minimal maintenance. Today, the Ruska Buggy is a collectible classic admired for its unique design and carefree open-air experience, making it a perfect companion for summer drives and beachside adventures.
