Maybe it would be nice to have a place for people to post a list of what they have in thier collections. Like, HERE! I'll start.
I started my collection with a vintage 1964 Rupp Grand Prix race kart, from there I went through a few old race karts, but have kept my GP (it's the same year I was born. Then I bought a rusty Sears mini bike on Ebay for 65 bucks in pretty bad shape. Following that, a buddy and I made a deal on a pile of mini bike frames (we each got 3 frames and some parts), one is a mid 60's Rupp Continental or TT500, not sure exactly as it is still just a frame. The other 2 are a Cat (unsure of model) and what looks like a Bonanza or trail horse. Finally, I just finished restoration on a 1970 Rupp Roadster with 10" wheels. I'm always looking for parts and frames or complete bikes. I'm also advertising locally for vintage power toy restoration and custom one-off designs (such as my chopper trike that I built). Will soon have pics of my Roadster up.
So, What kinds of toys do you guys have??? Let's get the ball rolling here, restoration season is coming quick (winter) lol....

P.S. Don't forget the trail ride in MO on the 23rd and 24th of Sept. See front page for details......See you there!!
