Re: Caretta for sale

Guys, where in the world is the arguement? We all love old karts, and we will ALWAYS try to buy them for the least money! If the ebay seller has a $2K minimum, the kart certainly looks to be worth that from the photos! If that's too high, don't bid, and don't bitch if someone tries to get him to tak...

Re: 40 years from now on REAR

Rob and Bob: Thanks for the decision to leave things as-is. The guidelines work very well as was shown at Fremont! I imagine there are quite a few guys who have a large investment in both time and money in their late '60's karts, and I imagine they'd hate to retire them. Ted J.

Re: Rod Ends

Tom, if Dart was anything like most of the rest of the vintage manufacturers, they bought from whoever had the best price at the time.
