Dad picked this cart up in KC a couple years ago. I had to buy a couple wheels for it and the guy i bought them from inomaha said i probably have a vintage cart. Well i am looking at beefing it up as my son gets bigger. Before i tear into it i wanted to find out exactly what we have. Any help with this? Cant find a serial number on it anywhere.
what you have is a fun kart probably vintage if you define vintage as 25 years or older .
if you're worried about damaging it's value as a vintage kart it you wouldn't do any damage fixing it up.
best guess from front wheels is a manco or clark.
it's not a pile of g0ld but it looks to be in good condition certainly worth a few hours of your time to make safe and presentable as a great toy for your son.
as a general rule of thumb any two seater kart aren't hugely valuable.
generally the karts that do have value are single seat , former racing karts.
some single seat fun karts are worth more than i'd suppose, but that's not my area of expertise , so beyond that i'd be guessing.
hope this helps
