1965 twin engine Go-kart

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-rupp-grand-prix-dart-kart-grand-prix/

1 drum brake and 2 135cc engines coated in chrome, pure 1960's fun!

Current bid at $10,000!!!

Whoever restored that thing certainly did it right.

It looks fantastic.

Someone really wants it and has laid his bulging checkbook on the table.

I had one of those for a while. At the time, had no place to really run it. Some one really wants this as Keith says. It's a pretty restoration. I believe I still have the factory sales lit for one of these. 

There are several 5 diget sales over the past few years so could go higher. These two are the highest I spotted. 

A friend of mine had one with one engine.  That thing was fast.  I'd be scared to drive one with 2 engines.  His had the plate on the other side and he said you could put another engine in it.  

I had a single engine version with a west bend dual carb 100CC motor.  Absolutely terrifying.  And I was young and crazy then.  

When I was a kid, I remember coming across a book on karting at the library. It was written around the time these were the hot ticket, I'd say. They are so cool. I'm tempted to order some tube and start welding.

If it was the one by Tex Smith, I borrowed that book at least a dozen times.

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

That's it! I remember that white cover, although I only borrowed it a couple of times :) Looks like it might be even cooler than I remember. 

Just bought a copy of Smith's book on eBay :) It's a lot less expensive than buying this kart...

Be sure to post up the fuel concoctions. I bet some of them are carcinoriffic.

We'll see how many of them also show up in Igntion!
