1968 Dune Buggy Lawn Mower
1968 Dune Buggy Lawn Mower
Maybe not likely, but not entirely impossible. Lots of companies made limited runs of entirely different products than their normal stuff. I think I read on here that Mr. Rupp just moved back to Manfield, Oh. Maybe it's worth a call to see if it's real. If it is, it may be worth a small fortune to some Rupp nut. Even if they didn't build them themselves, they could have subcontracted to someone else and endorsed them for a promo.

68 Dune Buggy Mower
That mower was not made by Rupp, but by General Liesure Company in Omaha Nebraska in the late sixties. It was a mower but also available with a small snow plow. I grew up with one and have one currently. Any idea who bought this one?
General Liesure company also built the Scat Cat mini bike. (I think thats the right name) and snow-mobiles as well.
Please let me know if anyone knows where this dune buggy went. I'm looking for the one I grew up with. I never got to see the picture on Craigslist. What color was it?
