I just noticed an interesting vehicle posted over at Kit Car magazine called the “Pegasus”. Details are scarce, but it seems to be a one off vehicle built by Fantasy Cars on a ’78 Chevrolet C1500 truck, presumably for a movie. It’s a horrendously ugly neat start, but to me it feels “unfinished”.

Looks to me like KITT was popular with the females back in the days of Knight Rider and this is the offspring… ^o^

Very ugly.
The nose and hood are off of an early thirdgen firebird.
Use Google Images and enter 1965 Dodge Power Wagon should be the first picture.
I am trying to absolutely prove that this truck is a ONE-Off, please let me know if you have seen others.
These cars and trucks were built by Bob Masters. My first job was working with this fiberglass Guru. He was in the Houston area. The trucks starred on a tv show for a while. there are still a few cruising the streets.
Any details of how the body kit was fitted? Does it fit over original sheetmetal? What are the headlights from?
I know for a fact there were more made. There were red blue yellow grey white and a couple of custom paint jobs . all in square bady then multiple builds in obs 88-98 body style. Yes they were based out of Pasadena texas on allen Genoa
I LOVE IT! There is one in Greenville TX and I wondered what it was. I figured it was just a pickup with panels from a thunderbird and customized hood and grille. It is yellow, and the back looks like a regular Chevy truck, but it has the same front end, possibly a more sloped windshield, and has the car-like rocker panels. It surely is a fiberglass job though. It’s old and faded yellow paint or primer, and just sitting in a car graveyard.
I folks just ran across this ad of my truck here’s a little something for your enjoyment
The truck was built by a kit company in Webster Texas called auto dreams inc. There were 8 built before the. Gentlemen died suddenly 7 were trucks
1 was a suburban. And some are right there are donner parts from Pontiac mostly chevy.
You are looking at the first one of 9 built I have sales sheet price list along with cpl of pics of others built
there is also a company called Pegasus motor car which bought the nose design to place on firebirds you can find a posting on mec auto auctions under Pegasus hot wheels tribute car feel free to email with any questions@ dreamers833@gmail
You will soon see this one back on the road as she has gone a total frame off restoration and is currently being viewed for a magazine issue
Bob Masters actually owned Pegasus Motor cars. I also think Charlie Vannatter was also in on it as Bob used his shop on allen genoa to build and display the cars and trucks. There is a guy on the north side of Houston that has popped some molds and selling them today. I have a friend that still has one and a daily driver.
Hey Ron. Thanks for the comment. We posted this way back in 2009 and at the time there really was no information on it. Thanks for the update!
How was the kit fitted on the squarebody? Does it go over original sheetmetal? Any idea where the headlights came from?
The guy that build the molds is alfredo deleon. I also knew booby masters I’ve known him since i was 5yrs old my parents worked with bobby way back in the days before the pegasus. I also worked at Charlie’s shop when i was a teen.
Hey Jim thompson could you email me I have a pegasus and want more info please email me thanks
