I had one when I was a kid in the mid 70's. Ran it so much the .049 finally lost compression. Rebuilt it with cylinder and piston from another.049 and ran it some more. Great memories. Thanks for posting.

Same here!

My father had the purple Dune Buggy and told me stories about it as a kid, I wanted one so bad and finally now found an orange one that needed a little work but had good rubber. Put a hotter top end with dual intake ports and opened up exhaust ports, a high compression head, and a mylar valve in it. I also have a purple anodized head that takes standard glow plugs if I feel like making it look nice. Just need to finish up the trim stuff and get some warm weather to get out and run it.

I still have the same Jeep. Haven’t run it since probably the late 70’s. Gotta get it up & running…. Great memories!

My older brother had the .049 Baja Bug back in the day. I really wanted the jeep.

Dude, I had this jeep as a kid. So fun watching the starting procedure, memories flooding back. So rad!

I had one of those back then. Wore it out until the engine had no compression. Best toy ever!

oh man that brings back memory's.. like the feeling of blisters on your fingers from the pull starter...lol

blisters on fingers and damn for pull starter rope breaking 😅

This brings back so many memories. I never had the Jeep, but I had the Sandblaster and Dune Buggy. Also had a few planes.

There also an 80's Honda atc90 trike model powered buy a cox .049 I'd really like to have one but there now worth $500 used

I didn't know they made a Jeep. That one looks great in the dirt. I had the red, white, and blue stock car. I'm sure it came with a steering wheel remote that was connected to an air bellow inside the car with a long plastic tube. You had to run around behind the car and steer it. So much fun as a kid!

Never seen this Jeep before. Very cool. I smiled the whole time. I had the Sandblaster, but never got the engine started.

That's awesome! I had the jeep and the P51 Cox vehicles. And yeah, I guess it would have been around 74 or 75. Brings back great memories. Thanks for sharing this.

So cool to see this running the way it would have been 40 years ago! Love my Vintage RCs! (And the new brushless stuffs pretty neat too!)

I had quite a few Cox models back in the day. I never had the Jeep though, and man did I want that thing bad! lol. Great memories. Thanks for sharing.

Great vid ! And will be my precious one

Nice. Wow, That brings back memories. A friend of mine in the early 70s had one of those and a Shrike. Good old fun. Those and Estes rockets. Cool stuff

Very realistic in scale, the bumpy ride is perfect in scale

Had one as a kid. One of the best toys I ever had, used it so much the pull cord broke! Would love to have another one!

Awesome! Brings back memories!

Ha... Thanks for that video, It brings back great memories . I'm in my mid 40's now, but way back in the 70's my brother and I had one of these. We would run out to the local construction site (like you) and let it run all around the dirt mounds. Good times.

I had a chaparral when I was a kid in the sixties. Only .049 car I owned. But every dollar I earned went into Cox .049 planes. I crashed so many I must have kept them in business

I had several COX toys. A Dune Buggy, a Trike, and many planes. My favorite was a helicopter you just released- free flight

I am underwhelmed.

That just might be the coolest combustion engined scale model EVER!

Wonderful vintage toys, i love it

Thanks for posting this! I've always wanted one of the Jeep's. I've owned the Dune Buggy and a few of the old Beetle Bug's but never the Jeep. That thing actually has a little get up and go! My old bug's were sloooowww!

Excellent beautiful amazing sublime inmortal.. COX AMAZING RULES.

Now that's a cool hobby.

That was and is entertaining !!!! My brother had one. I had the Vega dragster. Fun fun fun!

Did anyone else have the 049 Air Woulf helicopter? That lil $@!*÷$& would come straight back at ya! Absolutely horrifying and amazing at the same time!

That's great! Loud and smokey = fun

Nice. I had the dune buggy in purple,,,I don't remember it going as fast as this Jeep.

Badass!

Super beautiful

Never knew they existed. Had the Purple dune buggy, the Shrike & that Red/White/ Blue dragter ( forgot its name) & then the control line plane bug hit me.

It's ready for the Baja .500

Awesome!

Christmas...December...1969....I got a COX 049 Dunebuggy like this.

very cool and you got plenty of room inside to try a rc-mod to add some steering and make it way cooler!

Awsome ,forgot about the jeeps always wanted one,I had the dune buggy and stuka plane

Flash back!¡!!!.....1974

Yes, I had one back in 1973! ran that silly jeep till it just went kaput!

Fantastic love it 😊

Still got mine

Love it

really , very nice !!!

all Army jeeps should be like this one

Nice Video and Car!!!!! I want to build my one COX 049 Car and this Video is very helpfull, because I know now that the Cox is a strong engine to drive a little bit offroad :) Sry for my bad english. I'm German

Yeah My brother and i had the purple dune bugg and chopper and string air plane

awesome, lovin it. 😀 👍 👍

Da freut sich der Motor ohne Luftfilter über den Staub.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Viele Grüsse aus Germany

Smell that castor oil exhaust!

nice!

I had a trike and dunebuggy fro COX

No it is not remote controlled.... You could choose which ways the wheels pointed and they would stay locked typically in that position unless they got bumped hard...

That is amazing! I never thought I'd live to actually see one running. Is it 'free flight' or does it have a radio control? I wonder.

Free range!

is it radio controlled.

can you control the gas on such a engine or does it just run full throttle thinking of building a little rc plane

Ramirez Ramirez There is a kit you can buy online to add throttle control. It just bolts on to the back.

Love it I still got mine hasent run in years.gas tank caved in when I went to fuel it up

It just needs Klinger and Hawkeye in it.

I had the dune buggy. The Jeep is much quicker! Got a Baja Bug now, but no accessories to get it running.

Where is the GI JOE???

Running nice and fat. When they really start screaming you know they are about to seize. Gotta keep that around another 40 years.
