Re: Jungle Jim Grumpy Jenkins Vega Give Away Go Kart?
 

I've got a 70 Rupp roadster mini bike and the frame color is "Monaco Orange"

Dan, I would pay $20 to see you ride it! Carrying it under your arm doesn't count.

Is it a TT-500? I had one in 1969, 5 horse, 2-speeds, dark blue. It was quite fast for a 13 year old kid, but not as fast as my dart cart with a mac 101a. Memories......

On another board, someone has the &quot;Jungle Jim&quot; Vega with the top cut off. There was also apparently a Vega kart (same as the Jungle Jim car) made with the &quot;Black Magic&quot; paint scheme.

If some here can wants to make the body's .We can pull a mold from mine i share .. A motion mini vega would take Motion Mini car's to a even smaller scale ...

I think i will make it into a Grumpy's Toy to go with His old pit scooter i bought from him a few years back ..

I'm in the process of doing a frame-off restoration on the Rupp.
When I get it done, I'll bring it to your house and ride it for that $20 you're gonna owe me.
