Rupp Sprint

[furyus]

Hello all.

I posted up in the intro section and the general karting forum looking for advice on the Kartco 330 frame. Well, the whole reason I ended up looking at karts is because I've been searching high and low for a 1970 Rupp Sprint.

My older brother bought a Sprint bramd new in '70 for $208.00. My brother passed away in '75, and his Sprint is long gone. One of my little nephews is named for him, and I want to turn him on to engines and riding and fun, the gear head way. One thing led to another and it seems he might be happier with a kart, which is cool with me, but I'd still like to find a Sprint for myself. So what the heck, seems like a knowledgeable group here, anybody got a line on an old Rupp?

Thanks,
furyus

Been there, doing that, but thanks for the heads up. Never hurts to ask, right?

Hard to tell from that pic. If it is a Rupp, I'd guess it's a mid-sixties model. Fuel tank doesn't look right to me, but I am not an expert on the complete Rupp line (I do know my Sprint, though).

As you might imagine, a easy 10 percent of what is advertised as a Rupp, in fact, isn't.
