Odd indeed.

Was the front hood cut, or is it a two piece hood?

Someone spent a lot of time making molds for it. Must have been someone that also grew their own herbs!

The front fenders look very much like the front of my Deserter

I remember seeing those sold out of JC Whitney back in the late 70's. Think they were about $99.00 at the time. Not sure who supplied them to JCW.

I was going to guess fiber jet made them. They had several different looking baja kits in the '80s. looks like you ended up with half of one for the front and misc. other parts for the rear. The rear parts for the kits would have been similar to the finders you have on the front.

Hot VW's built a car in 1971 with the same front fenders.

They called the car "The Calling Car" and took it to the SEMA show that year.

The fenders were from Automated Fiberglass Co.

hey colorado, thanks they sure do look like the same front fenders. I like the hood treatment much better on the magazine car. are there any pictures of the back?
