What info do you need? It was built in the 80's by a ultra light company to run against the Hondas. Rotex 440 with a comet torque converter. Weber brakes. A diff with left/right brake peddles. The do sell a kit to lock it up

All I know is that I found one on craigs list for 900. A guy on another site wanted it so I got it for him. One guy in each state took turns towing it to chicago. He got it running and had it at our bash. Its fast for being so small. About 70mph. It's built for flat track it seems from the short arms. Not at all a trail buggy. Comet has all the clutch parts in stock and a good price. My buddy has info on who he got the parts from. If you have any specfic questions I can ask him and I'm sure he'll help. He better, 10 hours of drive time and a bunch of gas just to get it in Georgia. Free

Also that stearing wheel is out of a ultra lite plane. It's cast and has all the electrics in it. If you lock the rear you can change the brakes from left and right to front and back. The frame is rolled not welded for a large part. I mean its one tube from the rear around to the rear

I brought it home today , had it running in about an hour.
Wiring is a mess ,needs all new wiring . brakes are froze up(rusted).
I will work on them tomorrow
