1960's Pressweld Track Rabbit

[Rob Liepse]

I've owned this Pressweld Track Rabbit since the early 70's and have moved it from Norther Indiana, to Colorado, Northern Illinois, back to Colorado and it's been down here in Georgia with me since 1999. I thought about restoring it myself but I think it's time to find it another home. I have no idea whats its worth so I thought I'd put it out here on the site and get some input. It's pretty much 100% original with the exception of the engine and it's been with me for about 40 years.

Please send me your thoughts. If it was an old MOPAR I think it would be considered a Barn Find

If you do not HAVE TO, then do not sell it;
you will regret it sooner or later.

just pressure wash it (not the engine!) remove all the rust you can with a wire brush (handheld) and cover all in penetrating oil so that it wont build up more rust.
(a full conservation would be better.. but that's almost as time consuming as a full restore)
And then.. one day you can embrace the opportunity to still have it to freshen up the memories

If you must sell it,
then check your old thread I think Ohio Patriot is interested.

If it's original, in the Vintage Kart world it's classed as a "Survivor" and to a vintage guy it may be worth more as is than restored. Clean it up the best you can, replace only what is absolutely necessary. Find a period correct engine for it and you'll have a real winner.
