The go-kart is an old Le Mans racer. Probably pre-1969. You can tell it's a Le Mans car, because it has the headlight for night racing, and still carries the "luggage box" the Automobile Club de L'Ouest mandated to prove it was a road-going passenger car.

Slicks came around in 1970, so the treaded tires in the rear show it's age as 1969 or earlier. Front tires are obviously non-original.

After the huge Cadillac custom-bodied racers that Briggs Cunningham ran in the 50s, there was an effort to downsize and compete with the Europeans on maneuverability. It may be a car born of that design specification.

An excellent piece of history. I'd buy it for sure.

The bike is a MTD, the only thing I have seen it badged as is the western flyer ss 300 sold through western auto

If you end up buying it would post up close ups of the brake setup? I am curious if that is stock or added on setup. The 2 bolts in the back of the frame are for the original chainguard.
