Fiero go-kart

For anyone who didn't see this.  Obviously not mine.

Now's your chance.  I thought about it, but have no place to put it.  A while back, I had considered building one, but no space.

Anyone else wondering if it could be swapped to a 10 HP wood chipper engine, or similar?  :D

A 25HP motor would fit.  Just need different gearing.

I actually considered an electric motor.

$750 does not seem too bad until you figure you can get a full sized one for that much.

There's a lot that makes me wonder how much Indy that car truly is.  The fender badges are missing.  The spoiler isn't Fiero.  There's no red stripe around the lower body above the aero trm.  I believe the engine valve cover and breather were silver on the Indy.  Interior, exhaust, and wheels are correct, though. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

The door decals are not correct on that car. The A in "official" and "car" should touch the letters adjacent to it.


The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

Ghere is no way I would spend $800 on that Fiero--even if it was a real Indy.  The go-kart is running, rare, authentic, and in good condition.  As such, it is probably worth ghe asking price.  That Fiero is worth...whatever they can get for parts.
