1959 Rupp Dart restore Pictures

[Russ2251]

Could not find what I really wanted...so I improvised, a little.

 

[B man]

Why ruin it?
After all... it is a true gokart.
One of the better restorations I have seen.

It really needs twins. Best move I ever made.

im not talking huge lol. i know its a great example of a true go-kart. and yes twins would be nice.

but i dont know of any motors that could run his setup. seeing as how one engine would need a right side crank shaft.

Not necessarily.

 

[B man]

Not necessarily.

i know. but unless he makes it live axle. thats not gonna work.lol

But your kart is still cool as hell russ.

 

[Russ2251]

I assumed it was a live setup...my bad.

But your kart is still cool as hell russ.

Thanx.

[kyjohn]

The 820's are still in production.
Look a little different now, but are basically the same.
They have had different names in the last few decades.
Westbend, Chrysler, Powerbee...perhaps others.
On the pricey side. Available in CCW (left) or CW (right) configurations.
US 820
Edit: Beat me!

Of coarse there are always the Clintons, but are very hard to come by.
