Hi!
Thought I should share this find with you guys. Bought it for about $60 just before christmas. It came 100% complete (radio box not in pics) along with unpainted original body. Quite a rare find! I´m far too unpatient to take pics during restoration so I only have pics of the finished car. Not completely sure if I chose a good colour for the body, but I think it will look nice when the decals come in place.
edit: Oh yes, I know I put one of the rear tires the wrong way

That looks fantastic. $60 is an incredible deal.
The body color is great... very period correct.
I had several day-glo orange buggies bitd.
Please post more pics once the decals are on.

Cool! I have a soft spot for these old rail buggies. Plus, it's the same color as my Buffalo!

Thank you guys! It really was a find. It was the condition of the car that made me happy. Would have paid double or triple (or even more) for a 566B in this state.
I´m really a box art kind of guy, but with this it wasnt easy to find box art

That body looks just like a SG Coyote body.
Nice find!

This is the boxart paint scheme for your ayk.
I found the picture here.

I have the same car but with the pick up body.
This is the picture from the box.

Great find this is the only AYK buggy I have left to find to finish my AYK offroad buggy collection. I have picked up every other ayk kit but this model has been tuff to come by. Congrats on the find and welcome to the forum cheers,Chris

I never had a close look at one of those...very interesting front shock setup & motor/gearbox layout.

Nice car! I bought one of those at a yard sale for next to nothing back in the 80s, could never get the mechanical speed control set up right, pronounced it "junk," and traded it for a Kyosho Raider... had i known then what I know now...
Anyway, congrats on the find!
