1968 King Kart- What's it worth?

[Young One With A Manco]

Here's the listing;
http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/snw/4829626920.html
I can tell you that its running and i got a price for it (not going to share it to keep the sellers privacy). It's a nice restored kart like this running with an old 2 stroke off the back. How much is it worth?

Then there's this;
http://m.ebay.com/itm/vintage-go-kart-for-sale-1968-king-kart-all-original-/201221852288

See I've got myself into quite the dilemma here. I have a certain dream kart you could say, and i finally found one thats in the budget. But then there's this kart, which if its worth what the ebay listing says then it's obvious that this is an even better deal.

A true gokart, to be sure. The way God meant it to be.

All gokarts were 2 cycle back then.
Cut my teeth on Mac's.
Curious that the Ebay listing did not sell.

...so whats your thoughts on worth?

The only reason I would purchase this would be to keep it as a show piece, IF it proves out to be what it says it is.
Other than that...? $400 max!

Wow really? Thanks! Probably won't get it then.

well.. if it's in the shape it appears to be.. again, IF!

I'd outbid Russ by a factor of three

if not I'd consider prices for spares from ebay (ugly but obvious)

So yeah.. 1200 easily.. anything below 2k reasonable... above.. I'm out
(and that doesn't mean it's not worth it.. it just means I wouldn't )

Lol...would still be zero.
