Man, I really wanted a Shalako!

Turns out nobody else did. Only one was ever built, AFAIK.

I thought there was more than that - did a google search or two on it today.

Believe it or not, I think that is a knock off of the Shalako. The original was for sale here in El Lay a couple of years back. The ad stated no second car was ever made. Definitely trivia buff territory.

A story about Dick Dean wouldn't be complete without mentioning the "Shalako". When customizing took a nose dive in the late '60's, Dick had to devise a way to make his talents pay the bills. He took advantage of the publics' love-affair with the Volkswagen, and designed a "Kit" Car which would go onto a '66 VW Platform. The Shalako and its successor the "Shala-vet" were a success, with about 1,000 being built.
When it came out,
people didn't believe
that the Shalako could go Off-road too !


That's Jeanne with the '70
Shala-vet. It could hold a
VW, Pancake 6 Corvair, or
Ford 4 Cylinder engine.
