Default Anyone catch this listing on ePay? '77 Vette Go-Kart

I thought you C3 guys might get a kick out of this '77 Corvette Go-Kart body on eBay. I had never seen one before but aparrently the company F.W. & Associates, Inc. made several variations of C3's starting in '77. Anyone have a complete example with the running gear?

Here's a couple pictures of my Corvette go-cart.

This isn't one of F.W.'s. It was made around 1980, by a company called Hagstrom in Georgia. Hagstrom also made the Mini Model T Ford parade cars, that the Shriners use to use.

F.W. & Associates were located in Ohio, Mansfield maybe(?). Besides the Corvette, they made all sorts of 70's car bodies. My old Corvette club, auctioned off a yellow F.W. Corvette go cart, at our annual show in 1977. One of the members who had a Caprice wagon, drove out to Ohio to pick it up. I may have a picture of it around somewhere.

Or actually a 1975 since that was the last year of the convertible.

I have a red Hagstrom that I may sell. Would want it to go to someone who has been seeking one. Let me know if anyone knows someone that may be interested.

Please don’t respond to 7 year old posts in order to sell.

This thread will be closed. However, if you want to sell an item like that, list it in the Auto Extras and Memorabilia section and include an asking price.
