Default 944 go cart?

Heya folks, what do ya'll think of this? To me, there is no doubt as to the lineage, the model is debatable. What would somebody pay for something like this with a running 3hp chassis under it? (Not that it is for sale or anything, just curious) The T/A sponsorship sticker reminds me of an early 944 race car but I can't find any pics.

There is one for sale on the boston CL for $500

...and it's not a 944, it's a 924 Carrera GT (GTS or GTR maybe)

with that said, if it were local i would be intrested, but $500 is probably more than im willing to pay.

Somebody had just the fiberglass shell for sale on St. Louis craigslist this spring. It was pretty beat up but would have been great for the kid.

Some would argue it gets more exposure on the craigslist ad than the mentioned forum, but it was a secret to this forum and thats good enough for me.

Cos, forget the field, track it! It probaby would qualify for the 24 hrs de lemons!

I just got the twin to this go kart last week. Mine is one of two made as a promotion for the movie "No Man's Land". The intention is to have this little guy drive it when he's ready. I was planning on restoring it with an original paint/decal scheme similar to the one above, or maybe the "Boss" version.

It's funny how I've never seen a single one of these before in years of owning these cars and now they're popping up on Craigslist.
