Hello all......new member here. Ted.... Bullittcar. I still own the '68 390GT 4spd Mustang that I had in high school in 1976. Hence, my user name....

I was at a neighborhood estate sale this weekend, and noticed a go kart frame, a few motors, and misc kart parts piled in the garage. Being a vintage Mustang restoration guy, and remembering seeing the karts for sale at a local motorcycle shop back in the day, this piqued my interest. Back then....I was a mini bike and then a Honda CT70's guy, before getting my first car, a '67 Mustang.

I've started my research into what kind of kart I bought, as the estate had no idea.

It looks to me like a Rupp kart of some model, closely resembling the narrow steering support models like the Dart. However, the rear axle mounts are different than what I've found on the Internet for a Rupp?

Anyway, thought I would start with online forums for some help identifying. The wheels are not Rupp, but the motor looks like a West Bend model.

I've attached a few pics here. Reach out if you have any insight....thnx. Ted

It appears like a Rupp to me, or Rob Ron. But they are identical because they took over production from Rupp.

Nice find! Looks to be in good restorable condition. Did you get the motors also? And welcome to the forums!
