There is currently an AeroTech Go-Kart for sale on Bring a Trailer. Does anyone know of or the history of this item ?
Supposedly they made 70 of them but based on the number I've seen for sale I think that number is low. The one in the Bring a Trailer listing is one of the nicer one's I've seen. It has both the spoiler and cockpit cover. The cockpit cover is often missing.
FWIW if anyone thinks they're going to pick one of these up and cruise around the Nationals they would be wrong unless they are about 4'-2" and 70 lbs. I'm 6' 1" and 235 and I can't even get my knees past the steering wheel. They are definitely made for children
This is the one I have. It's currently sitting in my garage attic collection dust:

They were available for dealerships to “celebrate” Foyt and the Aerotech’s success. That is a nice kart since it has the cover! I suspect it won’t go for much as the Olds crowd is cheap when it comes to collectibles.
BaT proving once again that people have more money than brains, sometimes.
A guy in one of my jetski groups was asking what his original condition Kawasaki SC was worth in such pristine condition as a survivor. Bunch of dummies telling him ridiculous amounts. I injected that, like some particular cars are worth a pretty penny in original survivor condition, most are not. His Super Chicken is the equivalent of a 67 4 door Delta 88 granny car with 25000 miles. Nice, but not worth a lot except to maybe a couple of collectors. I'm sure some idiot will overpay for it.

Why is the buyer an idiot? Because you view it as a lower value?
Wow, makes my kart for $4,200 seem like a steal! New OEM Briggs and Stratton kart installed this past week along with a tank flushing. Very cool following the last few minutes of the BaT auction!

For $10,000 I think I'd get it out of the attic and blow the dust off!
