Hey folks, I am new here. I have no other resources than this forum and "rearenginkarts" to post this and I figure it should go to someone that would restore and appreciate instead of some flipper. I have read all the forum rules and this post is gunna break a few.
Here are the details:
McColluch R300 cart, complete minus engine/s. It needs restored or used as is. seat is there but pulling apart, tank is there and not rusted up (Missing gas cap). has pedals, brakes etc. a few wheel halves are chipped. It had a modern 4-stroke engine mounted on it using a beautifully machined engine plate, and entire cart has been painted orange, then black in it's past life.
I've had it taking up space for years with the intention of stripping/painting and minor restore while looking for an engine but I have far too many other things that need done plus my son is now 21 and has no desire to race it locally (Waterford hills) now that he has a '72 Duster.
Not really sure what a complete rolling R300 needing restored is worth these days. I'd like to get ~$900 for it based on what I have seen a few sell for over the years + other same era karts. but if that's totally out in left field, I understand. It is currently headed for the garage wall as art.
I am 20 miles S. of Flint, Mi and though shipping is "required" in the forum, I would prefer it to be picked up. The only way I could see it being shipped is on a pallet or Greyhound & I would be willing to do either, though never have. I'd also be willing to meet/deliver within 2 hours from here, for an extra cost.
Thanks, hope this is all OK. I have more pics if wanted. trying to not load up the server
