Naw, fiberglass dune buggy bodies were a shell only, no provisions for heat. They were intended for summer time play. The VWs heater channels, as you know, were part of the VW body to carry heat forward. Luke warm at best. Those Germans were a hearty bunch operating air cooled cars up in those mountain temps.
That's a good lookin 'vair. The 6 cylinders created more heat than the VW 4 so their heaters may have worked a skosh better.
