They seem super scarce I have seen more common karts bring 20k at auction
What about these?
While it is a rare kart, there are many rare unrestored karts worth about a thousand or so assuming it’s all complete. For a Bring a Trailer (BAT) kart that people got all nutty over and let their egos get involved, for one, those are completely restored with absolutely the best period correct parts and workmanship.
Some of course are worth a lot but a lot of the time people are overpaying for this stuff.
Others more experienced and knowledgeable will hopefully provide input, but maybe a grand plus if all complete.
I have a couple 1961 Bug Wasps and a 1961 Bug Lighting. I paid, at different times, anywhere from $450 to $500 for each of these karts.
For my unrestored Rathmann Xterminator, I paid $380.
Take care
