Where is the AMC Jeep/Wheel Horse from the early 80's

Does anyone know where they went? I believe there were five of them made? Some of you guys know what I'm talking about and can post pictures of it. I can't find any?

I have to wonder how many are still out there? Talk about a collectors item!

We had a Wheel Horse Jeep Jr at the Annual Wheel Horse Show quite a few years back. As I remember it had lots of "off the shelf" Wheel Horse parts incorporated into the unit.  The owner was a Oliver and Wheel Horse tractor collector but his name escapes at the moment ( I think his first name was Phil). I'm thinking there was only 3 of the Jeep Jr's made and one was in England. He told us that the Jeep could do 35 MPH and gave us a little demonstration of it capable speed ... it was fast.

I wanted to revive this nearly five year old thread I started. Just wondering if anyone else has seen or knows the whereabouts of these? Or if there is any still left? They’re pretty cool!

I remember this thread from years ago.  It would be great if one would turn up at the big show next month.

I had thought about building a similar 2 seater with a jeep body when a Roof Palimino had slipped through my fingers. Still think about adding one of these body kits to the Roof 60 tractor but it's a little expensive.

Or building one from the Mini Beep plans from Struck. Bought the plans a while ago and even found a guy that could CNC cut all the body parts.

If you were to build a mini-beep out of AdvanTech 4x8 sheets of engineered subflooring and Simpson Strong Tie fasteners, it would probably be darn near indestructible. You'd probably need a 20 horsepower engine to make up the difference in the extra weight.
