That’s pretty cool

It's not until the last two photos you see how a kid would get in (or out). The body lifts up like a dragster.

If my grandson were more than 'a bit' younger, I'd be bidding on that!!!
That thing is 'kool'!

I'm curious about the origins of this. Does anyone know if this is an original GT40 coin-op kiddie ride? Or did they do put a GT40 go-cart body on top of a random coin-op ride?

To say I hath reassessed my exuberance is an understatement!
My grandson will be 16 in 3 years. $38K ought to buy him a pretty nice REAL car.
