Shifting is through a four-speed manual transaxle. The buggy features an exposed tube frame finished in orange, and the open cockpit houses a pair of fixed-back vinyl-padded bucket seats equipped with RaceQuip multi-point safety harnesses. It rides on Fox shocks and white 15\u2033 EMPI-style steel wheels, and other details include a rear-mounted spare wheel and tire, four-wheel disc brakes, diamond-plate floor panels, headlights and taillights, and turn indicators in addition to overhead trail lighting, dual side mirrors, a Bugpack shifter, a cell-phone holder, and VDO auxiliary gauges. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2025, this sand rail is now offered with a clean Texas title listing the buggy as a 1975 two-door Volkswagen.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-109919537\" src=\"https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=620&amp;resize=620%2C413\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=1767 1767w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=620&amp;resize=620%2C413 620w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=460 460w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=144 144w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=940 940w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1975_volkswagen_sand-rail-dune-buggy_dsc04693-66890.jpg?w=1240 1240w\" alt=\"Volkswagen-Powered Sand-Rail Buggy\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The tubular chassis is finished in orange and features a full roll cage over the cockpit as well as an engine cradle.
