Kart was stripped and refinished in the matching correct blue that Rupp offered at the time, it has 2 fully restored, mechanically and cosmetically Mac 70\u2019s on it, it has the correct manifolds on the motor which was unique only to the Mac 70 and Mac 40, no other Mac motor had them. It still sports its original 5 quart Chilton seat back gas tank which has been re chromed, everything on the kart is original and has been restored with that in mind, it has the correct steering and even the optional Hoffco front bumper which has also been re chromed, the original Rupp wheels were fully restored with new bearings and the outer trim rings were re chromed, this is a very low serial number Kart, I firmly believe that this Kart was a Team Rupp Factory race Kart, and more over I believe it belonged to Pete Berlt aka \u201c sneaky Pete\u201d, the kart had the factory team spindles on it when I received it but one side was broken so I replaced it with a pair of factory Rupp spindles, when I acquired the Kart I was told that Pete drove this kart in 1963 and part of 1964, I don\u2019t have definitive proof but we are a small community and I believe the gentleman that told me that story to be true, either way it\u2019s an excellent restoration on a rare 1st year Rupp Grand Prix, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask or hit that \u201ccontact seller \u201c button", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1720387210, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14925381, "authorName": "CT70KID (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/ct70kid/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@dougnshari thank you for your bid", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1720387514, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14925829, "authorName": "bdavidk62", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bdavidk62/", "bidAmount": 5500, "content": "$5,500 bid placed by bdavidk62", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1720392766, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14926113, "authorName": "jcaball", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/jcaball/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "is there the possibility of seen a video ?", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1720396289, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14926125, "authorName": "dougnshari", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/dougnshari/", "bidAmount": 6000, "content": "$6,000 bid placed by dougnshari", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1720396439, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14926288, "authorName": "CT70KID (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/ct70kid/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@bdavidk62 thank you for the bid", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1720398925, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14926298, "authorName": "CT70KID (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/ct70kid/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@dougnshari thanks again, this is a special kart", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1720399003, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14926355, "authorName": "bdavidk62", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bdavidk62/", "bidAmount": 6250, "content": "$6,250 bid placed by bdavidk62", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1720399906, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14926389, "authorName": "Gilbey", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/gilbey/", "bidAmount": 6500, "content": "$6,500 bid placed by Gilbey", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1720400564, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14926442, "authorName": "C7Guu", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/c7guu/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Beautiful kart!
