Vintage Racing Go Kart Find !!!!!!

[mockingbird812]

Nice details. Do u think that the disc brakes are original or added later? Very progressive!

Cool find, but those 33's look more like 38DD's to me....

Yep! The wheels on that kart would bring some serious $$$$.

Must be something in the air lately. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

The brake is original when it was built .Here a pic from a 1960 kart magazine .Shows that you could buy a disc set up .. I would hate to have to stop it with a band brake .....<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mockingbird812</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Nice details.

Very similar to a Dart or Rupp, but it's a Clark Cyclops 440. Still has the name and model embossed on the original seat pad.

There's a paper sticker on the metal seat back stating &quot;Clark Mfg. Co., Conyers, Ga.&quot;

Mccullochs were the hot engines in the late 60s but a tad too pricey for me. My buddy and I did finangle a West Bend 2 cycle that was pretty fast and had a ball with it.

Great video - thanks for [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img] posting!!
