How about Dennis Anderson complete with a functioning Gravedigger?
You guys might recognize this from when I listed it here at the beginning of the summer. Well, I had it down at the dealership and had a ton of people looking at it but we had a change of hear and couldn't resist messing around with it for one more summer. Now I'm trying to get a winter project and my brother is ready for his first 'stang so we need the money so here are the details again:
I have a Carter Brothers (top-of-the-line manufacturer) built miniature Gravedigger go-kart. We bought it as a toy to run around fields and the yard but ended up babying it and taking it to car shows even more. This is one tough kart featuring:
5 hp Briggs and Stratton gas engine w/ turn-key electric start
Comet Torque Converter
Loc-Tite jack shaft
Huge ATV style knobby tires
working red headlights and taillights
green neon under running boards and in cab
Adjustable seat w/ safety belt (can handle "big kids" up to 250 pounds!)
tube frame
I know you may be thinking why not spend less money on a regular go-kart or a quad.
1) This is much safer for the youngsters. Thanks to the torque convertor, it is mostly low-end power for climbing small obstacles and only tops out at aroung 35 mph. Although its near impossible to flip, you have the body and seat belt for protection.
2) Carter Bros. is probably the most respected name in go-karts for their quality and durability. It only gets better that its powered by the best small engine company, Briggs and Stratton. Not only are there little worries about maintenance, resale value will probably only go up.
3) Carter Bros. only built about 4,000 of these and Bigfoot, I am told. the uniqueness and rarity of this gravedigger memoribilia can only increase its value ( and "wow" factor when you show it off.) Kids and adults go nuts at the shows and I've been asked to pull over a few times while I was hauling it in my truck so people could check it out.
With that being said, these ran around $3800 new and I've only been able to find this one other one for sale in the entire country listed for $3000 (and thats a newer one with cheap, less reliable Tecumseh engine) so I am asking $2800 negotiable for mine. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
For comparison, here's the other one that i found in FL:
