SOLD! 1963 Corvette Sting Ray GM Authorized Go Kart
SOLD! One of 1200 small electric powered 1963 Corvette Sting Ray replicas used as giveaways in a national promotion in 1963 during the introduction of the all new Corvette Sting Ray. Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors contracted with Barry Toycraft to build these little cars with a cost to participating dealers of $285.00. The car is 77 inches long, 29 ¼" wide and 18 ½" high (not including the windshield). Weight is 230 pounds and has a Riverside Red gel coat fiberglass body. The car operates on a standard automobile battery with a built-in charger. The body sits on a welded steel "torque-tube" chassis that allows the independent suspension of the wheels. The large red wheels have 12" x 3.00 semi-pneumatic tires. A foot operated brake applies mechanical pressure to the rear wheels. The instrument panel and all other trim items are duplicated from the real car with heavy foil decals. A correct period dummy battery has been installed for display purposes. This particular car is believed to be the best known example to remain. It was used very little before being stored away for many years and is totally complete and untouched since new (including its original plexiglass windshield and bumpers). All factory labels remain intact and even the V-belt reads "Barry Toycraft". It is Number 379 and was built January 21, 1963 by the tag glued to the body’s underside. Pickup only in South Florida or make your own arrangements for delivery. I will not ship. Thanks for looking.
