Probably a good bet that if you have a 5/8's steering shaft its 63 and older as that became a tech item. Louie, Do you have factory litature or are you using magazines for dating, I was able to use factory released material for dating? Just curious. Didn't the 'unimount' karts have the different tab...

Reviewing Tom's list for 66. It does not list the Grand A so it must be safe to say it is a "one year" model only [65] and it was a little stretched by the marketing people. Great handling kart by the way, a personal favorite.

Anybody know what the 'tag' numbers mean ?

The Rupp 1965 factory brochure states that the Grand A is "a proven performer for years" The question now is how many years ? Wasn't it a one model year kart ? 1965 only.

All of the karts in the brochure are red in color also.

Robert, your 'facts' have no influence on the Guidelines considerations becasue the Guidelines are based on O.E.M. product designs not repops. We allow your repops because they duplicate the originals fairly close and for no other reason. Steve, good point about a 'fixed' bolt on wheel on a stepped ...

Steve, Robron, S.A.E. and Blackhawk were a few that come to mind that were still produced in the 70's. We have to agree with your assessment of what honestly is of historical value. It seems the cookie cutter designs that came out the 70's, 80's, 90's, are just that, same old same old. Upon furter d...
