Just picked this up tonight. Appears to have last been on the road in '76. Could not find a id tag anywhere. Anyone recognize this?

It is one of the Sand Shark clones.
Nice buggy.

Haha yeah not much snow this year yet.
I did find out the magnum 500 wheels on it are '69-70 boss 302 mustang specific so they are worth a good amount. Have not decided if i want to keep this one or move it on to someone else. I have way too many cars as it is and running out of indoor storage space

65 Chevy, but not Impala, they are Bel Air. Impala lights have an additional chrome ornament in the center. I actually love the way those subtle differences were used to help differentiate the various levels of trim on those full sized Chevys.
Cool Buggy. |

| Looks exactly like the one I recently acquired. From my research it was called a sand shark. But not the Apache Sand Shark as the Apache had a fiberglass molded windshield frame. |
