Oldsmobile Go Kart

[tx7750680]

Found this on Craigslist. They only made 70 of these. Have you ever seen one? Is $500 a good price?

Thanks

not without the lif that covers the seat IMHO..
but it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay ,,
so is it worth that much to you is the ONLY important question here.

cool? yes, rare? yes.. but it's just a Bird Mfg kart (cheap thing) the only thing that makes it special is the body... and that's what you're paying for..
500... seems a lot to me for an incomplete body *shrugs*

This one's a freebie, but we all know this ad could have been removed 5 seconds after you posted the link. In the future and for the sake of posterity, please save the ad and photos and upload them.

I would make a lowball offer of $300-350 and go from there.

That thing looks like Luke Skywalkers Car.

I think it's got a land speed racer vibe to it. If it were Pontiac rather than Oldsmobile I would HAVE to have it. Very cool kart IMO.

Does it have wheels and other necessary accruements?

The Olds Aerotech was a custom body on a March IndyCar chassis powered by a turbocharged Olds 2.0 liter Quad 4 engine.
On August 27, 1987 AJ Foyt drove the short tail
version shown here to a world closed course speed record of 257.123 mph.
He then got in the long tail version and set a world flying mile record of 267.399 mph.
To the best of my knowledge, those records still stand.

AJ Foyt is the Schnit!
