Why doesn't somebody make something fun like that again?

I have to agree! Have a great day!

Where did you get that? I've been looking for some info on this thing. Thanks for posting it! Have a great day!

It was from a brochure for sale on flea bay.

Here are some more images I got from the Smokstak forum.

Neat chrome touches on the engine. The mag wheels on that gold one are definitely a blast from the 70s past.

Can't wait till it's finished... A lot of work though. Been sitting for at least twenty years... Have a great day!

Wow! Thanks for those images. My uncle and I were wondering about some of the color schemes because a lot of it is very faded. Can't wait to show him! Have a great day!

Here is a couple images of a gold buggy. Love the metalflake and chrome steering wheel and body. Nice touches with the chrome light and engine housings also.

Kind of partial to the red but honestly, they are all cool looking! Have a great day!

It reminds me of Wall-E. :laughing:

Ha Ha! True... The young nephews think so too. Doesn't look right now all taken apart though....lol Have a great day!

Did you ever find out anything more about who made them? I found this on Smokstak while poking around. Evidently JC Pennys marketed them, and according to member Dick DeBuse, who has always got good information, they were made by General Appliance and called Bonanzas.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. Kind of figured it was JC Penny or Montgomery Ward.

That would make a cool racing mower, I think so anyways. Now I just might have to find me one of them.

I was thinking the same thing! Watched those races on TV. They're FAST! Think one has to be just a bit crazy to do it. I'm there! Have a great day!
