Step back in time and experience the thrill of open-air motoring with this exceptionally preserved 1969 Volkswagen Allison Daytona Dune Buggy. As the West Coast reveled in the dune buggy craze, Ken Allison brought the fun to the East Coast with his high-quality creations built in Daytona Beach, Florida. Known for their hand-laid fiberglass bodies and striking finishes, Allison Daytonas quickly became sought-after icons, with only approximately 600 ever built. This example, discovered in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, by a discerning collector, represents a rare opportunity to own a beautifully original piece of beach culture history.
This early short-wheelbase Daytona remains stunning in its original metalflake silver and red gel coat, complemented by a brilliant white interior. With just over 5,700 miles on the odometer, it has been lovingly preserved, retaining its Allison-installed components, such as wide-five slotted wheels, a pop-up gas cap sourced from Dodge, and vintage R.E. Dietz Company lights manufactured in New York. Adding to its charm and practicality, the sale includes the original red convertible top and side curtains, allowing for enjoyable drives even beyond beach days.
Powered by a reliable 1,500cc Volkswagen air-cooled flat 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual transaxle, this buggy delivers 53 horsepower and the kind of driving joy that defines an endless summer. Its 4-wheel independent suspension with torsion bars and hydraulic drum brakes ensures a smooth ride, whether on sandy dunes or winding backroads. Ideally suited for display, rallies, or top-down cruising, this Allison Daytona is a rare and authentic example of a bygone era's craftsmanship and spirit.
