Reno Warehouse Find

#1
A friend of mine owns a city block near downtown Reno in a 'heavy industrial area' on the Truckee River (now this is Reno and not Detroit so the industry to which I politely refer is not, uh, automotive related??:biggrin:) Anyway, in a huge warehouse on his property he dug out this old Rupp.

He said he got it 45 years ago from a Rupp, cousin of the founder of Rupp (sorry I'm blanking on the names:doah:) and this cousin lives in Lake Tahoe. He had forgotten about it until I happened to mention something about minibikes and that blew the lid off our conversation. From that point on, it's all we've talked about. He says he also has a Bug Engineering minibike and some very old go kart stuff back there too, he was heavy into go kart racing 'back in the day'.

So chime in peoples! What do we got?:thumbsup:
