2/1/02
1. 1964 Dart Grand Prix with twin MC-91's. This is the Kart that is currently
pictured on the Vintage Kart Web Site. I've added a few more polished parts, but it is
basically unchanged from how it is pictured.
2. 1964 Dart Grand Prix with original MC-9. This Kart is currently under going a complete
restoration to the original 1964 "As Run" configuration. It may be
finished up with dual MC-9's. 3. 1965 Dart Grand Prix with MC-91. Currently under going a
complete restoration with a MC-91or 92. This Kart will be for my son to run at the Vintage
races this year. 4. 1966 Dart Chaparral with a MC-101. Another Kart that is in the process
of being restored. This will probably be one of the Karts that I run at the Vintage events
this year.
5. 1966 Dart Chaparral with twin MC-101's. This Kart when it's finished will have front
wheel disc brakes and a two caliper rear brake. The engines will most likely have three
carbs each.
6. 1966 Dart Chaparral Enduro with twin MC-91's. This Kart is also being restored to an
"As Run" configuration.
7. 196? Dart Kart that is currently without an engine, and I'm not sure exactly what it
is. I think that some one converted a one piece chassis to a two piece. I'm unsure of the
pedigree on this on and will probably sell it off as a bare frame.
Since I have most of the parts to finish all of these Karts, it becomes a matter of
finding the time to complete the work.

I am writing this for my dad. He is the original owner of a Rupp Grand Prix and he thinks
that it is ~69 vintage. At some point in time we will supply some photos to let the
readers help us out with the year. He ran both single and dual Mac's in what was supposed
to be a stock class. We still have the kart, engines, tires, and a Margay gear box. He did
not like the gearbox - made him slower. My dad tended to win quite a bit and he raced in
Buchanan and various tracks around Michigan and Indiana. Should you know him and would
like to drop a line, I will give him the incoming email. By the way - It is not for sale

1960 Dark Kart Super K, 1961 Homelite KL-100.
At 14 or 15 years old in 1960 and 1961, I raced a Homelite Spitfire kart with a Power
Products engine. I hadn't driven a kart since my Spitfire was lost in a move in 1963. In
2003, I got the bug to ride again, and purchased this kart and engine from Jack Foster in
New Jersey. The Spitfire was a dog, and I had always wanted a Dart Kart or a Go-Kart 800.
Now I have one. My Dart Super K needs more than a little work, but it runs nicely already.

organizations by Rupp Manufacturing in 1968. Many of the stock originals are still running
8hp Kohler engines while the others are running newer 5hp Briggs engines. The second kart
I acquired had been wrecked several years ago and I am currently restoring the body which

1963 Dart Grand Prix/MC91
I found it rusting in a back yard, forgotten and abandoned. The engine (a mac 91) was
bought in pieces from Jeff May and put together by Brad Fultz. These guys really helped me
get the restoration finalized. I finished the resto just in time for the 2nd annual
vintage kart Olympics. Thanks Jeff & Brad.
Happy vintage karter, Jim Wilson

Barlotti A-Frame 1969 - engine Parilla BA13
Bought the kart 15 years ago as I was a Kart Dealer in the UK (Karthouse Racing), gave the
kart to a good friend of mine as he was looking for a "starter" kart for his
son. The kart stood in his garage for the last 15 years. I told him I was going into
vintage karts and he said "you can have the Barlotti back". I had forgotten all
about it - but I accepted his offer. Now I am totally refurbishing it.
Will be a pleasure to be a member of the Vintage Kart Association of America!

1962 Percival Hellcat, twin AH57's
A four year search ended with a hit on ebay and making the seller take it off ebay five
minutes after he posted it before any bids were placed. The cost was steep, but we meant
business. Kart had no rust. It is built like a tank. The power of the 57's is a little
disappointing, even though it is a replica of what we ran when we were kids and only
weighed 75 lbs. Currently exploring increasing the compression and rod strength of the
57's and letting them breathe better.
Any tips on AH57 power increase appreciated.
