Thanks for the info and suggestions guys. Yeah if I went the route of a new one I would seriously want the old body kit. Looks much better. Personally I would like to find a used one. Not just to save money, but one that needs TLC and a little bit of resto would still be considered a project...

I have seen one that was beat and left out side unprotected for $700. Didn't have the cash and it eventually sold One that was well used, but also taken care of for $800. This one seemed like the best value, but again, didn't have the cash and it didn't last very long. There is one currently...

Yeah you got some work to do, but not sure its as bad as the one I was looking at recently.

Um...... No. Her hair is pointy and the skull is flat. Supposed to be a gear/cog. However if the photo is small, at first glance I can see what you are getting at.

I know a good deal will come along but it is frustrating. I keep seeing some good deals coming up but they are too far away. I don't have a mode of transport for some of the larger carts with cages, so I am kinda stuck looking for something close by.

Yeah was just curious since I never seen one like it. I figured its a kids kart with 3hp and the plastic chassis.

I just gotta know what this thing is. First the guy was trying to pawn it off as a racing kart, for $300-$400. Now he is just trying to get someone to barter with him. http://www.flickr.com/photos/30252834@N03/10061693475/

Yeah no worries here. I will eventually find a deal worth getting. Plus now that I got the wife ok with it, I can jump on a deal quicker next time around.

Yeah sorry. No not gonna buy it.

The "60 year old" coment didn't register with me until I got home and did the math. The craptastic welds wouldn't bother me if they were just the side pieces and the engine frame, I could refab those. I think what killed it for me was all the cracks and bad repair welding done on the important...

$300

Ok guys so I finally got to go look at this kart that I want to buy. I don't know what model or year the go kart is but the guy said its like 60yrs old. I think its a really nice looking frame, but its been beat hard, and repaired kinda shoddy. I don't mind a kart that needs some resto work but...

I didn't say I believed it, it's just what he said in the email.

Nah it's never the too dangerous issue. It's more about space. She was already fine about building l one I just have to get some areas in the house cleaned out first. For this I need to make space in the garage. She asked if the whole reason I cleaned out the garage was for a go kart. I told her...

Ok so I finally convinced the wife that buying a used kart to play with before building one from scratch was a good idea. I also found a kart, at a price I like, for sale. I am just a bit picky on how the frame should look. The seller posted it Friday morning. Emailed and called him. He got...

Nice haul Tig. Shifter carts aren't really my style but if I did get one I think I would make it look like a Mario Cart hehe. Can't wait to see the video.

That's another one I told my wife and she laughed at me. I used to live in Durham, and Gastonia for a few. I was actually there last week on vacation and visiting family. Oh and forgot to day Welcome.

I grew up in NC but now live in PA. the first time I said "North Cackalaki" my wife thought I was making it up.

Both of these are very similar in design. I can see the pros and cons of each design. However I am wanting some input from the more experienced crowd. My goal for this build is to have something to drive around my yard and neighborhood, instead of my riding mower. Links to both are below...

Did you ever figure out what kart the original frame was from? I like that frame and have some "ideas" that make me want to hunt one down.
