I currently own two ruppsters, one that is ready to go with aftermarket 13hp engine and a roll cage and the other is in complete pieces as I slowly restore it so i definitely can agree with you these things are pretty cool. But before I ramble more I would suggest just keeping an eye out on craigslist they pop up every few months normally someone trying to get it out of the garage after sitting for years. I saw one posted this last week in riverside county ca for 300 with no engine but everything else was there. Are you looking only in your area or you trying to get one shipped?
