Kart In Weeds. What Is It?

[qtband]

Kart in the Weeds...REVEALED!!!!

OK. I went to look at it and offered $50. We negotiated to $85, tough negotiations. It is a Carter "Hot Bodies" kart. The motor runs and has electrics! Everything is there and should just need a good cleaning. I will have to buy 4 new tires and a TC belt. I get tires at dealer costs so that's not a big deal. I'm happy with this one!:rolleyes3:

Sweet looks like a good deal and find!

That was a really good deal! I hope to see more of this kart and everything you do with it.

Right!

I just don't understand what could have happen? If I had that kart I would not just abandoned it in the weeds. Did the kids out grow it or what but just don't leave it, put the kart in the shed/garage or sell it. I just don't get people some times.

Good score

With a little work & a few bucks it should be a great ride

I have to ask...did you need your weed eater?

LOL!!
No, but the weeds were really growing in & out of it!

Apparently he bought it and then got sick and decided to sell all his projects. He had a lot of them going on. He said he'd never get to this and it had to go.

I've got 8 karts in the garage now. I can't pass up a deal!

OK, FB, here's what's in the garage...

1. Indy kart. Needs engine cover and a fix of the redneck hack job on the frame. Paid $100

2. Pepsi Challenger. Needs a paint job & seat. Everything else is nice. Bought it & now my brother wants it for his grandkids Christmas gift. He's thinking about adding the Indy kart, too. Paid $150

3. Two seater Yerf Dog. Needs a seat, frame break welded, roll bars & a tire. Paid $100

4. Manco Interceptor. Needs a rim straightened & a seat. Owner said it didn't run. Got it home and found out that he grounded the kill wire. Pulled it off and it started first pull. Paid $75

5. Manco Condor. Needed a-arm repair, a seat, a belt, a bearing & a rim. Paid $125

6. Streaker. Needed paint, seat, a tube and a TC belt. Has a 6.5 Honda electric start. I replaced the carb. Paid $100

7. Hot Bodies weed find! Don't know that it needs much. Haven't looked yet. Engine & electrics work. Paid $85

8. My avitar. Scratch built buggy/kart with a kawasaki 440

That's it for now. Did I mention, I love my wife!!!

Nice score! Stuff like this really drives me insane. You folks to the south really have it good. You just can't find deals like that up here.

Want some help wrenching on all that kewl stuff?

 

[qtband]

Anytime you're in St. Louis, come on by!
Most of this stuff is about a 30 - 45 minutes away. Most people won't drive that far to get a kart that needs work. I will! In fact, here's one that I'd like to get, but I think I better move some out first. But I'm watching it....

That's some cool rides you have there

Obviously, she loves you too

Stop complaining, at least they're on the same continent
We don't get anything like that here, at any price. Before I joined here, I'd never heard of Manco or Yerf Dog

 

[stratguy44]

maybe seller is trying to sell the weeds along with the kart. Sorry just Sunday humor

 

[Keit1212]

nice karts in your garage! I'm not too far away from you. I see alot of deal over by stl. But I hardly ever drive more than an hour for anything. I'm just lazy lol.

 

[qtband]

Ok. Finally got this done. I have it listed for $500 now, just in time for Black Friday! It runs really good!

 

[bshinn]

That kinda stuff blows me away. As a seller, wouldn't you clear the crap off of it for a decent picture? It'd sure make selling it easier!

Just no fix'in lazy

 

[OzFab]

Wow, that scrubbed up nice, good job

How much money did you put into getting it cleaned up?
