Post by Rick Chapman » Sat Nov 28, 2009 12:24 pm

Went to look at a kart I saw on Craigs List.

Thanks Rob..
Can you give me any more information about these karts??
I told the person who has it I'd let him know if I wanted it by Monday morning..
If anyone wants it, let me know and I'll pass along his phone number..
What is this kart worth as shown in picture??
Thanks
Rick

Percivel made Wildcats and Hellcats. They were sold thru Woolworths and kart shops. I think they only made karts for 3 years, 59 dead axle - 62 or maybe 63 to sell out old stock. This looks like a 60 but that's just a guess.

Can't tell ya what it's worth. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
