This go-kart was produced by Manco Products of Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the style of a 1960 Chevrolet Corvette and was modified under previous ownership before it was purchased by the seller in 2022. The kart features a fiberglass body finished in white with teal coves over a tubular steel frame, and power comes from a 212cc Predator single paired with a centrifugal clutch and chain drive. Features include silver-painted bumpers and trim, 6″ wheels with three-eared spinner hubcaps, Corvette badging, a painted three-spoke steering wheel, a custom center console, and a teal vinyl seat, side panels, and carpet.

This C1 Corvette-style go-kart is now offered at no reserve in La Verne, California, on a bill of sale. The fiberglass bodywork was refinished in white gel coat with teal coves under previous ownership, and the kart is said to measure approximately 75” long and 30” wide. Features include silver-painted bumpers, bright cove trim, Corvette badging, and a novelty California license plate.
There are scuffs below the right-front bumper and on the rear deck. The painted steel wheels wear three-eared spinner hubcaps and are mounted with 4. 10/3.
50–5 Kenda whitewall bias-ply tires. The tubular steel frame is finished in black, and a single mechanical drum brake is fitted on the rear axle. The single seat was retrimmed in teal vinyl under previous ownership, and a matching carpet with an inset foot pad is fitted along with side panels with perforated silver accents.
Additional equipment includes a body-color center console with silver accents and bright switchgear, a painted plastic three-spoke steering wheel, and drilled pedals mounted above the front axle. The clock does not work. The replacement 212cc Predator single sends power to the rear axle via a drive chain.
