That's cool man. 13.5 hp is a LOT for a kart-sized vehicle made in 1981. It's probably pretty fast. My 5hp go-kart was quite a handful when I removed the RPM governor back in the day.


Yeah I've got to think about that motor in there. I'm thinking it originally had a 5 hp B&S motor.

I can easily sell the bigger one and get a 5 horse.

Great find! Unless you really want to do a restoration, you'll make more money if you just flip it in 'as found' condition.


I agree. The ones that go for Big Bucks are Originals in beautiful condition. Yours will never be original again

Yeah, the hell hole seems to be missing...... I wish my 914 chassis were going to be this easy to restore.

That's insane. I was looking at the chassis picture I took and the size of the 13.5 motor thinking it was too big. Without any info on the transmission I'm kinda worried about it taking the increased power and torque.

Almost got it stripped. Just need to remove the differential and the I can begin the repair welding. Car took a hit to the left front and entire front end fell off at some butt welded square tubing. I'm going to cut all of it off, square it up and reattach it.

Differential unit is proving fun to remove also.

Through my post on the FerrariChat site I am in contact with a gentlemen that has an Uncle in Poland that may have been involved in the building of these vehicles. Waiting to hear back from him.

If you get a chance to see the chassis it is very different from mine. It's much more complicated in its construction.
Just wondering why someone would go to all that trouble to make just one 936/77 body. The 936 Junior is a 936/81 I believe.

Brought the body home and am stripping it in the backyard with a heat gun and putty knife. Rhino liner sucks. I have about three pounds in the trash can so far. Uncovering lots of cracks, and flawed areas that will need to be repaired. Plan is to take it to a local shop that does custom paint jobs on boats. Saving a lot of money by doing the crap work of stripping the old coating. Have about 7-8 hours into so far. Chassis going to weld shop this week.

Done with the major stripping. Don't ever want to see Rhino Liner again........

I have a serious collector here in Los Angeles interested in purchasing the vehicle when it's done. Incentive to get my butt in gear and keep it moving.

Black was hiding a lot of the body details. Plus it was such a poor job, bondo on the rear, etc. it will give me the chance to strengthen some weak areas in the body.

Cool project! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Can an adult drive these?

It would be bad ass to show up at the local kart track with one well set up.

If you are a man in a 10 yr old's body. No it would be a tight fit, awkward angle for the knees down under the cowling to the pedals. We'll see though, haven't actually had the body mounted on the chassis properly yet due to the frame being damaged.

It would be fun to get some pictures of it once its done, on a cart track going through some corners.

Been busy with work and haven't made as much progress as I would like but I have finally finished removing the Rhino Liner from the outside and inside of the body.

I would estimate about 5-7 lbs in my trash can. I'm glad it's over after about 18 hours of scrapping.

Next up is to do some reinforcement under the body because of some observed flexing, and some crack repair. Also the rear tailights were made into oval holes with bondo for replacement lights. I'll find something to fit the original slots and remove the bondo. Also need to carefully sand the body down to remove the remaining rhino residue.

As elaborate as the molding and construction of this body is I am amazed that I cannot find information regarding its manufacture. Hopefully someone will see this and recognize it someday.
