Ed Mancini California
beatnik beetle:
Hey Loungers...Ive had a bee in my bonnet about trying to find a custom bug that was featured in Hot Rod Magazine back in the 70's...Root beer brown chopped oval called Pegasus..it was built or at least painted by Ed "The Best in the West " Mancini...for some strange reason I feel the car is still around...but, I'm probably wrong..I have googled myself to death and found only mentions of his name regarding his Econoline Van..does anyone know if Ed's still around..or know anything about the car?..thanks Simon

Hey Simon, I was searching for roofchopped car pictures on here last night and I remember seeing a 70's metallic brown chopped car.....
I'm not sure how to link it, but if you search for a thread by Lids, '"is a Roofchop really cal-look?"
There's a photo of a heavily chopped brown cal looker on about the 4th post on the thread.......
Is that the one??
It's an oval, on BRMs from an old magazine feature from the looks of the photo, there's s rear shot of it too, a bit further down

I`m sure you already know this but... that Bug was in a background shot in the movie "Hollywood Knights". And it`s been a favorite on mine since I first saw it in Hot VW's.

Hey Jick and Bryan 67...Jick..different car but, Ive always liked that one ;)...and Bryan I didn't know about Hollywood Knights..although I did hear ( and I'm surprised to say it as I have seen the film hundreds of times but, I heard it is also in American Graffiti...)..I'm checking that out in the next few days...Google seems to be so rubbish these days or maybe I'm missing something..?..thanks anyway
