I love how this thing looks, doesnt seem like it'd be too fast, its only got 3hp.

What a throwback. We had this same go cart body in all black on top of our POS RV that was used for only NASCAR infield camping. It was located over the AC bulge to provide better aerodynamics and looked silly but resulted in lots of infield chatter. AH, the good old days.

As far as the go kart itself, its pretty undesirable. 1 wheel drive, cheap clutch, band brake, no suspension, only 3 hp on a non-ohv motor.
so i guess its an expensive body.

we had a Tempo for a short time when i was a kid.
