Hi there Folks!
Anybody of you...oh great vintage racers... could help me about the history of the Inch Pincher baja bug from Empi?
I don't need any info I can easily find on the web...I mean...anybody here knows any news about curiosity...desert racing.."car anatomy" and so on that normally is unavailable with a normal research?
Maybe anybody of you was the person who drove this baja into late 60's?
Or maybe anybody of you knows the person who drove it in those dusty days?
All of these info will be helpful to a friend of mine who is trying to write an historical article about this buggy...
Thanks in advance!!!

A picture of the car would probably help LOTS! Not sure I know what the Inch Pincher is and Im pretty up-to-date on the vintage stuff.
As I wrote....I'd like to have any particular info about it...but not the ones I can easily find on the web typing the name on google search bar...
Better thing...from a person who drove this bug....or knows who drove it...or anybody who worked together with the Inch Pincher team at those days...
Sandscorcher- Inchpincher was many bugs back in the day. It was the name of the first EMPI drag car and every drag car out of their shop in the 1960s and 1970s. The name was applied to many other race cars around the world that used Empi parts. It kind of just caught on and because people liked it, they used it too. It was almost a brand name back in the early 1970s.
Hi Bro!Thanks for replying...
Well....til some days ago I didn't know almost anything about it...but surfing on the web I got some info like the ones you told me now...
Mind...I'm talking about the off road version of the inch pincher not about the drag race one...
Anyway...are you saying that there is NOT a particular inch pincher off road bug for reference?
Opposite to Funco's..Chenowth's...Manx's etc...is the inch pincher just a sort of "patchwork" of "one brand" auto parts on a vw bug???
No particular inch pincher from the past worthy of prise that made something special?
well i can tell you this Sal Fish drove one of the inch pinchers the CEO of SCORE int
one thing you got to remember a lot of these cars were never brought back to the states after the race cause they were so beat up and not worth bringing home
the cars were very primitive back then very little internal support they might have only raced one or two times then crushed the inch pincher was a promotional thing with empi and revell model company so mabey check with revell and and see what they might have
