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.

This is the article/caption which gave me the impression there was more than one. It's easier to finds these things the first time somehow.

When customs started to fizzle in the late '60s, designer Dick capitalized on the dune buggy fad with the "Shalako GT." The VW-powered kit car sold very well, though some road-testers couldn't quite believe at first that the "Shalako" could off-road it. Dick still has his.
