Description
The Western Hobbies “Bonneville Special” was one of this distributor’s own “assembly” products. Issued in the middle of 1966, it allied a Dugan chassis, a Mabuchi FT36D motor, Riggen wheels and tires and a painted body somewhat copied from a Lancer Novi-Ferguson Indy car model. The guide was a BZ unit.
The Dugan chassis was now fitted with an aluminum drop arm replacing the 1/8″ steel wire unit, and was anodized clear or black.
Known body colors are green, red and blue. Decals were pirated from older Russkit sheets.
The box was identical to that used by BZ, K&B and even at one time, AMRC, with a silver printed display tray.
