Playboy RegistryThis buggy has very strange sides that are extremely low next to the driver/passenger 's legs, then step up next to their bodies and then step up again where they flow into the rear fenders. The hood has a single ridge and the tail looks slightly rounded.
This buggy was the X-0030 X-File buggy until John Shepard confirmed the id.
