More kit than car? poor fit and quality? at least a couple people would have liked these cars enough to build one, Over in your write up for "Shark in the wild" you say it was also sold as the "Wild thing" Then you say Kellison renamed it the Dagger as they did have their Shark car already, In another post we have the same car sans headlight buckets and called a "Mantis" With different people selling the same basic body one would get the impression is was popular at the time, I have never seen a Mantis and 5 or less what I will call Sharks, I would just expect for at least one to be a running driver somewhere. Shannon,

Over in your write up for “Shark in the wild” you say it was also sold as the “Wild thing”
Then you say Kellison renamed it the Dagger as they did have their Shark car already,
In another post we have the same car sans headlight buckets and called a “Mantis”

With different people selling the same basic body one would get the impression is was popular at the time, I have never seen a Mantis and 5 or less what I will call Sharks,
I would just expect for at least one to be a running driver somewhere.

And does anyone know if the one in Michigan is still for sale? That looks like it might use a early 60’s vintage Vette windshield? And does anyone know if the one in Michigan is still for sale?

It could happen. And yeah, I do think sometimes that for many of these cars the prototype was the only one ever completed!
