Can anyone distinguish this Margay

[Procomacpro]

I recently picked up this older Margay racer that I'm planning on restoring. I've been trying to identify the model and looks to be maybe a new breed or cheetah. The frame and engine mount looks like the new breed sprint but the front farring and gas tank placement on the back of the seat looks like a cheetah.

Any Margay experts out there? Any help would be appreciated.

Cool kart

I'd send your serial #'s (and the link to this thread/pics) to
Margay:--> https://www.margay.com/shopmargay/help.php?section=contactus&mode=update
As far as I know they'll still ID their models for free.

The guys over on this forum:-->http://www.vintagekarts.com/ would probably be a good source of info too.

that's an awesome looking kart you got there!

Thanks guys!

This just came out of a barn where it had been resting for the last twenty years. Even the old Airheart/Hurst brakes still work good.

I still need to find an original gas tank and clutch for the MC91 and then I can start the restoration on the frame. I pretty excited to see how it comes out.

I just sent an email to Margay, that was a great idea.

amazing condition.

I've told by a couple of guys it is probably a Margay New Breed. Thanks for everyone's help.

Best I can tell, it is a New Breed, but I would double check with Keith at Margay with the serial numbers. Serial number should be stamped in the right side spindle cradle. Looks real nice but I think it is missing the nerf bars. Where are you located? Thinking about selling it?

 

[Procomacpro]

I checked all the locations that Margay suggested on their site for stampings and none where present so it has to be before 1972 when they started stamping. Thanks for the info.

I did send Margay an email so I'm looking forward to hearing back from them.

It's going to be a father/son project so I'm not interested in selling it.

If it doesn't have serial numbers, it's pre 1972 for sure, and if thats the case, I would almost bet that it is a New Breed.
