Sparky-(Admin) 21,465 #3 Posted July 9, 2012 Seems like a good idea, having a small pick-up style bed. Neat machine. What are the plans for it? Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rydogg 186 #7 Posted July 9, 2012 I could have gotten one not long ago but I was driving the car when I saw it and by the time I got back to the owner of it he had scrapped it out, that was the only one I have seen until now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #8 Posted July 9, 2012 I just sold this little dune buggy mower it was made by General Appliance and was called a Bonanza dune buggy mower, guy drove up from TN to get it, they used a Wards chassis and mower deck on these, this style was made in the early 70's.

AMC RULES 37,141 #9 Posted July 10, 2012 The yellow Bonanza looks like it was modeled after the early Jeep Commando. Wonder what year it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkPalmer 81 #12 Posted July 19, 2012 Not a whole lot of info on this beast out there, it's very rare so I would take care to keep it preserved. Only things I could gather across the web was it was made in Omaha, NE and sold through (of all places) the Speigel catalog. Comapny also made mini bikes. -Mark- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
