Hello I'm new to vintage karts and need a little help identifying this kart.I know it is a Rupp and was told its a mean machine . It is just a roller right now.

Yes , Its a Mean Machine . Looks in very nice condition for being 40 years old ! Put some engines on it and have fun.

Thanks Chris.Now for another question.Does anyone know what kind of engines these are and where to get parts for them ? they have k99102 on the fins

how much to part all that stuff with you ?

Really hadn't thought about that. I have a few other pieces too!

Doug,

Your chassis is nice and it has some value but nothing spectacular.
On the other hand, your pair of Komet B-Bomb engines with original B-Bomb overhead pipes are probably the most sought after vintage kart equipment in the country and they are worth a fortune. If you decide to sell them place them up for auction on ebay and watch in amazement at what happens.
Minimum $3,000 for the pair and possibly way more.
Don't let anyone talk you into a behind the scenes deal, you could be leaving a lot on the table.
One other thing you should know... that kart with those engines, if set up and tuned to run properly, is a potentially lethal piece of equipment. It is not a toy and driving a C-Open vintage kart like that takes plenty of experience to stay out of trouble.

Steve , Thanks for the info. I had no idea that they were worth that much. I use to race dirt bikes about 35 years ago,mostly hare scrambles ,but never any karts. Again Thanks

Doug, I was told those engines , properly prepped , put out 30 H.P. plus EACH. Thats a lota H.P. pushing a couple hundred pounds.

Chris...what rock have you been living under...closer to 45-50hp each...they are not toys,,,,not for newbies,,,,

Thanks for all the good information guys . It is greatly appreciated . I will try to take a few more pictures of them.
