Vintage Monza Ss Chevy Jr Antioch Shriners Parade Go Kart Gas Engine Restorable

You are bidding on a limited edition fiberglass body Corvair Chevy Jr Monza SS style miniature go kart. It has an Antioch Temple license plate on it so I think that it was used in local parades by the Shriner’s years ago. It is in pretty rough condition overall. You can tell from the pictures that the frame is in fairly good condition with a bit of surface rust but no holes, and the fiberglass body has hairline cracks but nothing major and needs a good sanding and paint but will restore just fine. Frame is made of 1 inch tube steel and is intact (no rust through). I think that motor is a Tecumseh 3.5hp gas engine. I have not tried to start it the motor I just assume that it needs some work. Here is some info on a similar cart:    .vintagekarts.com/monza_ss.htmThe info on this website says: “Well here is the rest of the history of the Monza SS Chevy Jr. from a staff
historian at the Corvair Society. They were built by Rupp in Ohio on a fairly “stock”
Dart Kart chassis, with the special Monza SS-replica bodies attached.They were initially
made just for Chevrolet to give away at auto shows, travelling Chevy shopping center
shows, Chevy exhibits at fairs, etc and even at Joie Chitwood thrill shows (a kart was
used by clowns in their act, too). Later on, Rupp sold some on their own, and Chevy dealers
could buy them for their own contests. Between 1965 & 1975, they were given away at
ALL kinds of auto shows & fairs, not just the Detroit show. From 1965-67 they were
called Monza Juniors (Monza Jr) and were red. The cart is available for local inspection by appointment. Contact Jeff on 937-470-0611 Bellbrook Ohio area. Local Pickup only after Paypal payment.
