Mini Beep Jeep Mason, OH **SOLD**
UPDATE: Was $3900. **SOLD**
Here’s an unusual jeep.
“This MINI BEEP has a 6.5hp engine, very well put together, $5k in just parts. Start it up and go, has reverse, brake, bench seat, trailer hitch, working headlights and moree….you can modify any way you want and even add parts. Use it in anywhere!!
The MINI-BEEP is uniquely different and better than any ATV, any UTV, any other kind of off-road vehicle. The MINI-BEEP pulls trailers, and implements, bulldozes sand, gravel and snow, drives off-road, and goes almost anywhere. It’s a 4/5 scale version of a World War II JEEP®, and it’s AMPHIBIOUS, too! The MINI-BEEP is a do-it-yourselfer’s dream project.”

Thanks to Doug for sharing this one. The motor is stuck. The brochure is likely rare.

MINI-BEEP Kit from Struck-kit
UPDATE: Blaine forwarded the video for the Mini-Beep:
Struck-Kit offers what they call a Mini-Beep Kit, which you can use to build mini jeep-like vehicles. You can even build an amphibious version.
The Mini-Beep
UPDATE: Oopos .. managed to forget the link to the cj2a page.
A reader pointed me over to the CJ-2A page where there is a video of a cool MBish mower. Not wanting to just snag the video, I thought I’d do a search and landed on the mini-beep.html page. It turns out they’ve been around since the 1960s! Head on over to the CJ-2A page to see the video.
