This
is a Sand Sprite III that was the FIRST blow thru turbo seen at Silver
Lake. Shown here in street trim shortly after the Body was put on and a
1st Place Win at the Autorama Car Show in Detroit.
A couple of pics of the ORIGINAL (copied several times out west)
DUNE BUS. This big buggy started out as a way to transport groups of
people out to the dunes to watch "Saturday Nite at the Zoo".
This was fast paced racing 10 to 12 abreast on the Flats". We
sometimes took Battery Powered Lights to starts the Drags. Powered with a
Type IV engine with a small Turbo Blowing Thru a single Delorto carb.
Plenty of power to carry 10 Adults up test hill.
