I didn't know him – which doesn't mean anything, but I guess this one is pretty obscure.

At some place on the internet the son of the maker tells about his father's cars, but doesn't mention if there was made more than this one. Possibly a small series of these buggies was built.

T.K. VanNortwick

"Dad built several dune-buggy type VWs. This is his second one, a four seater called "The Mosquito". This is in the late '60s in Sacto., Ca."

For those who have not spent time on the left coast, "Sacto" is local-speak for Sacramento, CA
