Looks like one of those old tri-sport type threewheelers. Fiberglass body, 5 horse briggs motor/tranny

[J.D.]

That, my friend, is a Pimpmobile.

[ScottZJ]

It looks like either the JC Penny trike or the Mud Bug. They both had similar looks and pretty funny at that.

[ratvespa]

haha, some old guy at a gas station was bragging about somthing like that, talking about how much better it was than honda ATC's and how it was safer and never got stuck. damn I hate old people at gas stations that talk to me.

[RedRider_AK]

Faster than an ATC 70 maybe...

[tbirdscott]

I'd love to find one of those near me, needs metal flake, lotsa flake, and chrome the engine, ooooo yeah.

Actually if that thing had a 250R motor or a 350X motor, it would make a pretty cool dragger.

Even with a 5 hp Brigs that thing has GOT to get up to some good speeds!

I had 3 Mud Bugs and that is not a mud bug,

Holy *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* brapp. I have a picture of my uncle and me riding one of those things in 1975 or 76. This is the first time I've seen one since. I have no idea what it was but it looks pretty damn cool. I smell a restore project!!!!!!!!!!!

[ccdhowell]

Do a search online, they make nitro drag parts for that engine. It's the NHRA Jr. Drags, they use those engines and really hop them up.

Make a drag trike out of it and put people on the floor.

[Howdy]

That is a Tricart ( 99% sure of it ). In August 1970 they sold for $750 ( list price ). They were originally powered with a 1 cylinder, 2 cycle Rockwell JLO 230 engine. It is clamed to have speeds of over 45 mph. The three wheeler is 59in long, 32 in high, 52.5 in wide. Wheelbase measures 40 in in length.

what are the chances of 2 people on this forum having that magazine? where did you guys get them? ebay?

[brapp]

the measurements are within 2 and 1/2 inches this machine is slightly smaller in dimentions and is a gold metalflake in color. i have a almost brand new 3.5 brigs i am goign to put into it if noone wants it for 200dollars. i have no major intrest in this project. but if someone is interested get a hold of me. if not i willprobably fix it up and do a partial restors with soem modern parts and go from there.

[runaway]

hello if you want to restore it i got a 299cc rotax very very similar to the jlo it runs strong had it on a trail buggy im making if your interested? if not cool.http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s221/runaway_017/th_P1010156.jpg (http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s221/runaway_017/P1010156.jpg)

[RedRider_AK]

Wow, 45 mph on that little thing sound like suicide. I'd extend the rear of it and put a psycho-huge engine in there...

[Tri-ZNate]

Josh, I think an air fooler with an outframe pipe might fit nicely in there :naughty:
