The kart my father has is the 1973 world champion kart and is autographed by the driver all that is missing from the kart is the steering wheel which is extremly hard to find. The value of my fathers kart in its current restoration would sell to a collector for $7000 and in time perhaps more. Everything on Dad's kart is brand new orginal. We have a collection of fully restored karts from the 50's 60's and 70's including a one of six wheel kart. How much do you want for the entire kart? it's a waste of great vintage kart if you have no intention of restoring it properly.


I don't think its a 'waste' if I'm enjoying it? And I don't think I could even sell it because I got it for FREE

Chop up the steering wheel and send it to the arrogant bastard,I'll buy you a new one.The waste is restoring something to let it sit in a showroom.

collecting as this is, is the same as a long term investment. they come in handy when you end up with some huge bills. weddings and such. not to mention a nice inheritance.

yeah keep it its your painting picasso and just cause someone rather see something never used for what it was intended for and have it sit all the **** day collecting dust thats fine if they wana do it but if they wana drive it like it was ment to be hes alowed to its his kart.... from what your saying is i should restore my truck and then leave it in my garage cause its then worth money... why not enjoy what you have instead of making it eye candy?

freak, you seem offended. i didn't say to do this or that with it, that's not my place. i was just spelling it out for those who don't understand collecting and who seek to be petty. jay leno has a great idea for older vehicles, drive them so that someone will start making parts again. but, unless original will also decrease the value. i hate to go here, but if you have a wife, and she is the epitome of 'a virtuous woman' why run her ragged with bs and ruin a good thing? this is why i don't get anything of substantial value. i am hard on things and would hate to ruin something.

Ok so this stupid, you guys are a bunch of ****ing wankers with no idea of karting, kart racing, or kart history. I presented a good prospect for both parties to be satisfied instead you all talk **** you dont even have a clue about. I will have a steering wheel manufcatured from an original. To all you wankers enjoy bastardising karting
