Good deal? Royal Ride 82 $1500

golf cart man · 12-28-2013, 12:09 AM

not a bad deal. I paid $1300 for mine. Left the electrics as is because I was building a neighborhood/golf course cart (yes I actually use my golf carts for golf)...had it painted, new seats, wiring for all the accessories, fixed the sun roof, new tires, hubcaps, and some other misc stuff. Ended up selling it for a little over $4500.

I personally love the carts. Some people pay that or only slightly less for a normal 80's club car DS so for a few hundred more you got a neat body kit. You cant pick up any bodykit for less than $1500+ and those are the mustang or 57 chevy which are too common now. Royal rides are just cool!

Golf cart man...love your rebuild. I want to do about the same to ours except maybe do the upgrade. Did you lift yours?
I've been reading all the posts and it's a bit overwhelming for a lady! Lol... If you have any really good sources for your items, please pass on. I'm trying to shoot to have it done by summer!
I still can't locate the seat arm rests, but not a biggie I guess. I'm going to keep the original white roof and seats. They seem to be in good condition:)

Thank you for the compliment. I did not lift mine. I wanted to do an original restoration on mine. I think there is a member on here that did do a lift on one but takes the uniqueness away in my opinion. Let me know exactly what parts you need and I can PM you some sources. If you are looking for mechanical parts, they are normal club car parts and any of the site sponsors have those.

Not sure how good you are with metal, but the arm rests appeard to me as just some pipe that was curved to be arm rests. The pipe was melted on each end and flattened. It was chrome. One flattened end attached to the back rest and the other to the bottom of the seat. One bolt through each end. Something that can be made very easily with some experience or done by a fab shop for little $$.

I have some hip restraints / arm reats that Stealth was using. With a little fabrication you can probably make them work. If you are interested you.can have them if you cover the shipping.
