Stretched and custom 74” long frame
Looks much like a Rupp Kart but not certain. It was stretched so a tall person can ride it with some comfort. Is very narrow and sleek looking. Bought this yesterday and hope to restore it soon. Going with a metallic blue and Tan marine grade vinyl seat back, bottom and side cushion as well as the package pad. Has a streaker Kart steering wheel which is going bye bye too. There is no marking anywhere or lane I can find. Was once used to race in Georgia that’s all I know.

That is funny,
But yes it is intriguing to me, my sons as well. We are getting started this afternoon once they get home from School. Sanding and some blemish repairs. Then it will be primed and painted in metallic Blue. Going with a 212 engine and most likely a 42” live axle with maxxis and some nice wheels. Using the Manco pedals and a new steering wheel and the list goes on. We are relocating the engine mount to the center as well. It’s going to be a cool kart when we are done!!!
