I'm thinking about selling or trading this Caretta I don't have any room for it.

What's it worth?

I know I'm speaking out of school.
I listed a Caretta 6 years ago with a $1600 reserve and it reached $850 bidding on e-bay. I sold it the same week for $3,200. Guy's in vintage karting don't like the idea of bidding against each other. The best deals are on Criagslist, only if the seller has Paypal.

By 1967 most of the guy's were in to laydowns. And that was dominated by Hornets with Komets. I was checking out a Caretta for $750 but the jackshaft Caretta couldn't run with the Hornets. You could buy a brand new VW beetle for $1300, and a new Mustang for $2,600. Cobra's and E-Jag's were $5,995.

I remember a guy running a single engine brand new McCulloch kart with a brand new Mc-7, he drove off leaving all the Caretta's, Darts, Fox's and Bug's way behind, winning by a half lap. When the race was over they pulled the head of ...

Thanx for the info Ed...

Can anyone tell me if the crank marked1126/3-1 is a stock crank, or is that a W or M on on the underside of the piston?
