Got this 1968 Taco 99 judging by the serial number, and the 359th one made so pretty early in production for the year. What engine would this have? I know a briggs, but what HP? What model? Also what does a halfway decent era correct engine cost? (not looking for a quote per the rules of OldMiniBikes, just trying to get a rough idea) You can see the purple paint underneath. Also are the grips or at least throttle and brake assemblies original? Any other info would be super!!

The 99 came with a 5 horse. price? It varies. Is it rebuilt? Swap meet special? The Grips were Hunt Wilde available on E Bay. Rubber pegs still available. You got the correct old Taco wheels. Ditch the Fender, tank and seat. Nice Score!
