Kart ID needed - David Hoffman - 08-30-2016

What is this kart? I'd like to do a restoration on this kart and it's more meaningful if I can put an identification with it. Thank you vintage karting family!

ok THAT"S a tough one.
your kart is definitely vintage.
what it is a bit of a problem.
first are you in the USA.reason i ask is it has some elements that are just different.
from the front it kinda looks like a fox.
the rear rims are go powers no good pix of the front.
please be patient with us this weekend. i'm headed for ohio and then to il.to rock island grand prix street race to run vintage.
a whole lot of the other guys are going to TBO in fredmont ohio for the rear engine vintage event.
sooo nobody is home right now.
most wil wander back in sunday and monday.
if it's for sale and you are wondering if it's worth buying i'd say yes if under 200.00.
the rims are probably worth that.

Yes USA - I was gonna give $40 for the kart but after I told the guy I was planning to restore it, he said I could simply have it for FREE. Kart was located in Humboldt, Iowa.

Here are some more pictures. BTW - the rear wheels are shot. It has 4" Azusa wheels on the front.

Kind of a unique tail flap on the top of the seat.
