Updated August 8, 2026

AVAILABLE for SHIPPING or LOCAL PICKUP > Original Funder Wheels manuals are useful references for surviving late-1980s Action Products miniature cars and go-karts. Period examples were fitted with molded bodies, adjustable steering components, belt-drive systems, and small gasoline engines, with surviving vehicles now collected as unusual promotional and recreational automotive memorabilia. Offered is an original 1988 Funder Wheels owner’s manual published by Action Products, Inc. of Tempe, Arizona, measuring approximately 8.5" × 11". The manual consists of stapled paper-stock pages with printed covers and includes a separate Tecumseh engine operating-instructions insert.
