In 1965 I bought serial #7 for 34 bucks of my paper route earnings. It was all original with raised motor mount and came with a west bend 5 port 580. The rear sprocket also doubled as a disc brake with 2 aluminum calipers squeezing the sprocket

It was basically a 2 wheeled race go kart. With speed gearing it was clocked at 59mph. What a thrill for a 13 year old boy. I went on to race karts and ama flatrack motorcycles.
