Surely I'm not the only guy on this forum that dabbles with the vintage stuff. Currently restoring a Margay Panther X with a Parilla TT23 rotary valve engine.
Whatcha got??

Lets see if this pic will post .
The red one is our 1961 Simplex MKII challanger racer stub axle with
twin AH58 Power Products . This kart has had its pic in magazines from
3 different countries . Note the 2 fuel tanks , they are needed to have
enough alky to make a heat at New Castle .
The green one is a 1961 Fox kart running a AH61 Super Power Products

I'm going to guess that's a bug kart. Notice there's no king pin inclination.

I believe it's a Lancer chassis with a Mac 49? I'll get the info from dad later.

| Tecno Kart. I remember driving one back in the day, I think it was my first offset seat kart, very strange feeling. Probably was my first foreign built kart! Thanks for sharing. |

The thing about vintage is that it is hard to just own one, and people are encouraged to acquire as many as they can, lol !!! Here are photos of about 1/2 the vintage karts I own ... and I am currently restoring a Rupp Mean Machine, a 1960 Bug Wasp and assembling a 1974 Invader dual reproduction kart. FYI - Vintage is growing faster than ever, VKA membership was up 25% last year, and already on a double digit growth path for this year!

1961 Fox Go-Boy (mostly barn fresh) with dual MC20 McCulloch engines, Airheart reproduction dual caliper brake unit...
fully restored from a rusted welded up mess ... Margay Cheetah MKIII with factory front brake option
Paul Martin in front, me behind, in Margay ProX with dual BM-130, at the same Vintage Thunder event that Mike Burris' photo above is from (Mike's kart was a stellar show piece, vintage eye candy) - photo courtesy of Kart Art (Jerry Imboden):
