- The car still has 100% original body panels and paint work. A few door dings and rock chips here and there but otherwise she still shines up real well.

My wife is very sad to be parting with this car, it is quite the little gokart. But our family’s size has out grown this car. Contact me by PM or benaj1 at yahoo+dot+com if you have any other questions, want more details or want to see the car in person.

Thanks for looking,
Ben

































Older picture, but the latest one I have with the winter wheels installed. Currently the clear coat on the lips of the wheels is starting to flake and will need to be redone if you want them to look perfect again:

 

How did you handle the salt up there in the winter? Also, do you have any factory wheels in the package?

Thanks!

 

The mystical powers of a little soap and water . . . .
Seriously though, we have been lucky to always have unheated garages to store our cars.

No stock wheels, my wife hated the look and their heavy weight so they were put up for adoption years ago. A replacement set of stockers would be easy enough to find on Craigslist, they show up pretty regularly here on ours.
