I have a Southern Ill Trader "Show and Sell" paper dated Dec 19-25. There's and ad with two Honda XR 80's and a kart. It says $875 for all- I suppose kart too. The kart looks like it could be vintage to me- hard to tell the pics not too good. Its got the dropped front axle, its low to the ground and the seats big and cushy looking with a pad up between the legs. Its got slick tires and a curved number plate attached to the steering loop. Its got the one piece side rail/ rear engine rail like on Rupp and Lancer karts I've seen pics of. I can't tell if its got a live axle or not. Its got a Briggs engine on it.
Its in Lively Grove, Ill not far from St Louis, phone (618)-824-6314. Might be worth checking into if your up that way. I could be wrong about it, but if its a fun kart then it was built similar to a vintage racer. Looks pretty dang good in the pic.
I would check it out, but its about 150 miles from me and there's no tracks near me. Let us know if one of you check it out or get it!
Possible Vintage Kart!
