I been in a panic today - Billy Hoke - 02-03-2017
A guy in Wilmington NC posted on craigs list today a FREE running kart. He was moving and could not take it. It was a complete early 60's model with a west bend 580. I could not identify it. It had a half moon seat back tank, drum brake, and a front bumper. Steering wheel set kind of low. I tried to get through to him. He said he would remove the post when it was gone. Not there now and i did not get a picture. I have been having a hard time navigating this site but I think I have solved the problem. The guy said he wanted gone quick. I have daughter that lives about 25 miles from where it was that could have picked it up. Didn't make the cut!

I had to offer a guy a hundred over his $100 asking price to hold it while my brother swooped
over to pick it up for me, as I was 230 miles away, worked out great. my brother thought I had
SFB but he's an old dog and explaining it to him was futile.
