I've been sitting on this body for years and now it's going together. Anyone know who made this unique body? the hood is rounded like a beetle nose with a raised rib up the center.[/url]http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=304774[url][/url]

It looks like a Kellison Sandpiper XP1. If you had pics of the side and back I could be more sure.

I posted pics in the Literature portion of the gallary. Take a look and let me know if I'm right. :D

I just noticed something interesting in the brochure. It says: Shipped to Oregon, Washington, California only

Seems like your little buggy is pretty far from home

I saw that too. this is the only one I've ever seen and I've been up and down the east coast shows since '81. Wonder how many were made? I got this one out of the rafters at an estate sale.
