This is for sale on marketplace. Kind of neat, nice work from the photos I checked out. Been up for a long time.
“My Corvette Kart for sale. If you know what it is and supposed to be, then you know. Those that don't, please do some research on what it is.
Unfortunately my Kart has been sitting in the corner of my shop for quite a while and its time to see if someone else wants to "take it across the finish line". I dont have a build here as I'm new to FB, but documented it over on the Grassroots Motorsports forum.
Please take a few minutes to read and look at the pictures of the progress from beginning to today.
Here's a link to the build thread:
I know, another copycat Corvette Kart build.

My Kart started out as 2 cars, a crashed 1990 Z51 6-speed and a stripped 1993 Anniversary Edition. Several weeks of work, lots of tubing, aluminum sheeting, MIG wire, grinding discs and a dumpster full of fiberglass got me to this point.
The way I figured it was that I bought the straight bare chassis for $500 and the crashed donor car for $2500. I used the ZF transmission, rear carrier, differential, headers, suspension pieces, subframe, wheels and brakes from the donor. The wheels were $600, QA-1's $1100, fuel cell $300, roll cage tubing $1000, interior tubing $350, interior aluminum $350, oil cooler $50, new front subframe $300, front spindle $100.
No labor or fabrication costs were figured into any of this.
After the demo of the '93 Anniversary chassis, I probably have 4-6 weeks of fabrication in the roll cage, interior aluminum, coil-over fitment, exhaust and bumpers.
It was fun to get it to the point where it is right now and it needs the following items to finish:
- small block Chevy engine(mild to wild it's your choice). Any SBC should bolt-up to the ZF.
- plumbing, wiring, gauges
- steering column built(I have a rack but the steering shaft and supports will need to be done after the engine and seat are installed).
- radiator and mounts(depends on where you want to place it, front or rear).
- seat of your choice, seatbelts, pedals.
Feel free to ask any and all question and I will do my best to answer them in a timely manner.
*** Will sell without the seat and gauges for $6500 or $6000 without the big front brake rotors/calipers.”
