Rascal RegistryThe Rascal was a named used for advertising purposes by Sears during the dune buggy heyday.
The early model they sold was built by a company called Terra Buggy.
The body had a standard Manx tub with the small tail opening similar to monocoque Manx.
The hood carried a single ridge down the center with no emblem bump or otherwise raised features.
The dash has a distinct arm that was stretched to the passenger side to accommodate a radio or other gauges.
The Late tail rascal included a box design above the center carb area that was more styled like a Glitterbug tail.
There is no known link or connection between the Glitterbug and the Rascal.
It also appears that during the court copy write battles of 70-71 the Manx was advertised as available from Sears.
As far as I know there is only one person in the US who has a Manx he picked up at Sears.
JC Penny got on the buggy bandwagon with the sale of serial numbered EMPI Imps.
Wards carried the Bandit dune buggy in the catalog they produced.
