The Apache Dune Buggy
This Buggy is a true one of a kind. Built by Apache Automotive Plastics
in Geneva Ohio.
This was a one off design that was dubbed the Veenema-Wiege (whatever
that
means).
It was built by a fellow for his son who was sent off to Vietnam.
When the son returned he had no interest in the car and went off out of
state.
The car sat in the garage for about 20 years or so and was sold off to
a neighbor
who in turn sold it to a third owner a short time after.
The third owner removed the original interior which was two tone purple
and installed something more sedate.
Then it was sold to a collector in New York who has restored the car to
it's current condition.
The purple gel coat finish is original, the chassis and drivetrain
was restored to show level and the interior returned to it's 70's
splendor.
The gel-coat finish in person is incredible...the sparkle will blow
your
mind...photos dont do it justice!
The lift up removeable hardtop in matching purple metal flake
is perhaps the most unique attribute.
It opens up to make entrance to the car easier and then latches shut
for
driving.
It is of course removeable for topless driving as well.
The VW Beetle windshield is also a neat feature.
It is believed that the car has less than 1000 miles on it total since
being built in the 70's.
Another cool thing is the Corvette flip top gas cap...high fashion at
it's
best.
The car is gorgeous, very unique and suitable for museum display
or any private collection.
Car is currently located in New York state but can be shipped anywhere
in the world at the buyer expense.

email with any further questions.
Here is a photo of the chassi during restoration to show just how well
this car was done.
Excellent runner and driver and a very rare model of a true 70's Buggy.
Top level workmanship, all original body and gel-coat, freshly done
everything
else..
Suitable for show or go or perfect for museum display.
Perhaps one of the most unique Buggies of the 1970's and the rarity
factor
is though the roof.
You gotta love it...break out the bell bottoms and I'll meet you at
