Anyone Looking For A Vintage Simplex?

[gokarttimmy]

I have a 1960-ish Simplex Challenger Mk. 4 that I would like to get out of my garage. It is not original-but there are enough parts for a decent rider. It is located near Pittsburgh, Pa. I cannot ship it. The frame has been powder coated black and the wheels are powder coated aluminum-one of the rear wheel halves are NOS. The tires are still near new and the rear axle has new Timken bearings. The upholstery has been custom made using the original as a pattern. The front wheels are complete and will need to be assembled and installed. There is a decent steering wheel that will bolt right on to the original hub. The Ackerman steering is rebuilt and works perfectly. The rear brakes still work well. You may need to use an adapter plate to mount your engine-the bolt pattern does not quite match a 212 Predator or a Briggs/Tecumseh-but that shouldn't be too hard. I can meet the buyer in a public place in the North Hills area. Asking $600.00 OBO. Thanks for looking.

Thanks!! I would like someone to put it back together and have fun with it.

Don't forget to put it on Failbook Marketplace or craigslist. Sounds like a steal to me.

And yeah yeah, social media sucks but a fake Failbook account just to access the Marketplace is a pretty nice proposition.

A vintage girl tried to give me a vintage simplex one time. I passed so she gave it to a guy I worked with. He spent a lot of time at the doctors after that.
