I ran across this on Craig's list showed my wife the pic and she likes it. So i have a few questions.
1. How restorable are these carts? I.e. parts availability, trim moldings and the like. 2. Can anyone identify the year/model 3. Supposed to run good with no issue except that it needs batteries. The old batteries are gone so no cores. Wants $200 for the cart is this reasonable? |

Your 800 inwith batteries? Is that a price youare ok with?
1. Not very...look at vintagegolfcarts.com 2. My guess is early 80s go to website above 3. Price is what u r comfortable with. Go see a apt. Complex and see what you can get. Look in our sale section and what is close to you. Im not a fan of 3 wheelers so maybe im jaded and i have/HAD TWO melex and not much support for them in the after market. I have a 512 for sale now. |

Re: Need input
Looks almost EXACTLY like my 3 wheel Marathons, wonder if the parts would interchange? My guess is yes - Marathon parts are easy to come by. I'd personally go for it, but then again as a guy who owns 3 "tripod" carts, one and a half of which run, I guess I'm a little biased.
Here's a decent looking deal dependent on where you live: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-h...nd-harley.html |

If it wasnt for all the body work it needs I probably would have jumped on it but honestly the whole compartment needs to be cut apart and rebuilt to do it right. It pretty bad under the seat and you cant see it in the pic but the other side is all pushed in ad that to the dent in the rear and the rust.... well theres just a lot of work there and I just decided it wasnt for me.
Texted the guy back the other day because a buddy of mine thought it would make a good mobile duck blind but he wasnt willing to give more then $100 for it and the guy said he would just keep it if thats all he coukd get out of it. |
