Bought a car at BTT50s, need info.
« on: June 22, 2009 4:11 PM »
A kiddie car for the grand kids.  Got it at the swap meet yesterday.

It's steel, has a starter motor for power, brakes, forward and reverse, electric horn, and all there except windshield which was plexi. The only markings on it are the decal on the streering drop.  It says "Star lite".

I'm going to clean it up a bit, put a battery in it and see if it works.

Pretty neat, but haven't been able to find any info on it. Any one ever seen one or know any thing about it?

Apparently it goes 120.  I'd put some kind of rev limiter or governor on it.  That could be dangerous.

That is pretty cool, can't say I've ever seen one like that before. Should be fun though.
