Really, not a show truck? +1 for truth in advertising - I'm amazed at the bidding.

Well I was going to bid on it until I read that the bull horns are no longer on it.
Homemade frame....I sure would like a closer look at those welds. I'm sure the frame was built to exacting standards.
Bob and Chris, It looks like you guys may need to hit the road again to grab this one.

It sure appears so. Yeah, that will work. He must live near a motorcycle junkyard, all the spring-shocks appear to be off Honda 250's.

Runs and drives? Look at the rotors, looks like either it doesn't go anywhere or the front brakes aren't hooked up. But I really love the bicycle forks on the back, I guess some kind of trailer hitch for some ratrod trailer. The front bumper looks like a real piece of art along with the rocker, and can somebody explain to me how the rear springs that are cut in half work? Looks like there is nothing to hold the axle from twisting when power is applied (or commonly known as driving).

I have no idea why the bidding is ten times higher than it should be.
Must be the stainless trim around the front window - that is the only thing of value on that home made go kart. Or maybe that was Granny's original chair from the TV series.

It's in NC! I'm so embarrassed! Actually semi-elliptic springs are workable if installed correctly. The rear coilovers are installed upside down. Nice frame narrowing in the front and motormounts (or are those stilts?) The frame looks like it was made from old barn door track.
