Rupp Kart On Bring-A-Trailer

[Tom S.]

I know very little about karts, but this seems nice and I thought that others might like to see it, too. The no-reserve auction started today and runs for a week. Kart is in Chicago.

This is the kart I restored in 2018 @Tom S. The ad says the owner had it for ten years. Nope. Here is a tiny build thread I did of it, and I have about 22 photos of the build and finish. When the final photos were taken, I had not yet received the Vintage Speed tires for the rear. I sold it to the used car salesman from Phoenix who was on here a few times. I also restored his Bug kart.

That’s a beautiful cart and you did a great job on that Dave. Unfortunate that the person from Phoenix (who is not on here often) is taking credit for the restore and misleading potential bidders.. not the first time he has been known to be less than honest..sad

Thanks for the comments and Tom thanks for posting it. I contacted B.A.T. and wrote a detailed comment on the scope of the restoration as well as time lines, all of which B.A.T. have incorporated, so good on them.
