Project cars go kart youtube9/5/2023 I’ll be honest: I didn’t even remove it from the shipping crate before deciding to sell it, as my lifestyle was simply too overwhelmed (and still is) with vehicles of the four wheeled variety. I briefly dabbled with go kart ownership, and even mentioned that I had an old-school replica of a Chevy G20 van wearing marketing livery from Wrangler Jeans. The kart is a very cool piece that was likely used in competitive events back in the day, but it’s more of a parts rig now or a total restoration project. The single racing seat shows signs of wear, and the seller notes that it only comes with “part” of the exhaust. Namely, there’s no engine and the likely irreplaceable fiberglass cowl has been damaged. It’s clear this one has been modified and sports some cool in-period modifications, but it’s also suffered a bit for all of its time in storage. One of our eagle-eyed readers helped identify the nameless go kart as a Margay, and included a link to the full model range here on. You can find the new listing here on eBay where the asking price has been dropped to $900. You can read the original post here on Barn Finds, where it’s clear our readers were correct that the original four-figure asking price was a non-starter for even the most committed go kart enthusiast. However, we do have a bit more info courtesy of Barn Finds readers who commented on the original post and helped to identify this no-name kart as a 1970s Margay model. If this vintage go kart is a familiar sight to you, you’re not seeing things: we featured it last year for a higher price tag, and it looks like not much has changed.
