Newest arrival at the Rescue

[MPeed]

Hey Guys! What's the thoughts on this Gem of a 400 Thunderkart out of California?

 

[Hellion]

A beauty!

 

[Master Hack]

The bigger question:
did you actually go to california? Are you nuts?

 

[Denny]

I’ll give you $20.00 for it if you’ll deliver it.

 

[Hellion]

He's fruity (and nutty) if he did, MH.
More photos please, I love seeing them in more or less factory new condition.

 

[MPeed]

Y'all missed your callings to be comedians or clowns not sure which! The family I purchased it from moved from California, to North Carolina, and brought the kart with them. They are the original owners and even still had the factory operator manual with it. Not being a azz here, but if you are not interested in the history and preservation of the classics for others to see and maybe help someone trying to restore one like this from there childhood.

Clowns, definitely clowns. Not to disrespect your find, just that California thing. Glad you didn't have to go there...
It looks like a great find.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program....

I’m here for that. Would love it if you could scan the operator manual and upload it to the site, images or a full pdf, those things are gold.
More photos please, of that finely preserved machine.

Did this one have the full cage or cage over engine?
