Swoopster Bandit for sale

Post by ted johnson » Tue Dec 18, 2012 2:00 pm

For Sale: 1962 Swoopster Bandit replica. Reverse-engineered from an original Bandit, and designed on Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3 CAD software. Chassis is all chrome moly tubing. 2-1/2 years in construction, and is a nearly perfect reproduction of this very rare kart. We built two karts, and there will be no further copies made by us. ASW Engineering replica Go Power wheels, Greg Gouviea replica fuel tank, Airheart 150 hydraulic disc brake. Stainless spoke Covico steering wheel. New design 10 tooth Max Torque clutch with less than one hour on it. The kart won a "Biggie" award at the 2009 "The Big One" event at Fremont, OH. Anyone who has seen this kart will attest to its quality. Candy Purple powder coat with extra flake in the top coat. Engine is an original Mc101, Siamese ported and .004 oversize. It's disguised to look like an Mc20 It has less than 1-1'2 hours since complete rebuild. Carbs are rebuilt/rechromed alky modified flatback Mac units on a Hovey manifold modified to feed the boost-port engine. Reeds are carbon fiber. Reed muffler, and a modified Palmini header is included. Fuel it, oil the chain, adjust the carbs and GO! $4000.00 firm. PM me with your email for photos. Ted Johnson

Ted,
Very nice work and I love the disguised engine. I hope you are able to place it in a Good Home. I wish I had the space.

I've got the space, but not the money. Beautiful craftsmanship.
