    1960/61 Rupp Kart?

    The next step is called a A-Bone and is much more advanced.

    Rupp Chaparral

    Amazing in how these karts and they're upholstery age over the years. Most likely I'll sell it come June or July. At 78 years old, thinning the inventory has become necessary.

    Diamond in the ruff...

    Newer model Caretta's with original upholstery took awhile to collect.

    They have become to valuable to run. Guys are mounting on their walls. Art Ingels created ART alright.

    This kart is from the guy that invented go karts.

    Early Caretta...

    I sold it to make room for a pair of Caretta's I was restoring.

    Early Caretta...

    These early dead axle models had lots of leg room and used narrow 5" front wheels. WestBend 700V-5. Vintage go kart (Caretta)

    Alpha 7 / Mac10

    Alpha's were a bit heavy compared to an A-Bone. It made the Alpha obsolete by 1961.

    Alpha 7 / Mac10

    Been trying to get one of my best friends to sell me this kart for decades. My first kart was an Alpha7 with a Mac20. Ended up putting the Mac20 on an 61 A-bone. Chewed the A-bones with the Power Product 58's.

    Modified Chaparral

    This is a kart I bought through Canada's Craigslist. Import fees are something to think about before buying. The plan is to go to a Italian engine. The two WestBend 820's are like brand new engines. I can always use one of these engines for half a duel engine needed to run a Margay gearbox.
