Hello everyone I am Chris Peterson from Reno Nv. I feel I may have the find of the
year or century. I was lucky enough to find a add for a buggy body on marketplace and after making the deal I placed a post on The Samba . Com One of the members was kind enough to send me info and some pics of it. I was sent the pics of the article and cover of the May 1970 copy of Road Test and Dune Buggy, Pegasus Street Bug The designer's are Dick Akkanda and Jim Miller, The Idea was to explore the commercial possibilities of a VW based street car combining the lines of a dune buggy and a Group 7 sports racing car. So far nobody that I have contacted has seen one or has any info on the buggy or the designer's so I am putting it out there hopefully somebody has more info on the car or the Designer's any help will be appreciated. As you can see in the pics of the body, It is missing the forward bulkhead and maybe the rear one so I assuming this body was never complected. So it may have been the last one made. I would really like to find out how many were made and if Dick Akkanda and Jim Miller are still with us. I plan on finishing this Buggy over the next year but I have to restore a 73 Super for my wife first so just getting parts together now Thank you Chris Peterson Reno Nv. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It isn't very often that you find such a great right up on a rare find link this - Well done.
