A scarce Chevy Jr Monza go-cart, manufactured by Rupp, from 1971,

A scarce Chevy Jr Monza go-cart, manufactured by Rupp, from 1971,

tubular metal chassis, grp bodywork decorated with Penske and Sunoco logos, 3½ Hp Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine, 4.10 x 3.5o tires, 86 inches long, sold together with a book Alan Hummel: 'Penske Racing Team'. (2)

These carts, built by Rupp Manufacturing in Ohio, were constructed on stock Rupp 'Dart Kart' chassis, with special Monza SS fibreglass bodies attached. Initially they were made just for Chevrolet as give-aways at Auto shows and Chevrolet shopping centre promotional tours. Later Chevrolet customers could order them through their local Chevrolet dealers. In 1965-1967 they were all red "Monza Juniors", from 1968 to circa 1971 they were an orange red with a white stripe on the nose and the name was changed to "Chevy Jr". Sometime during 1971 they were only made in blue, like this example. Some later examples were painted white and used at 'Safetyville' in Flint Michigan, a scaled down town for driver training. This example is believed to have come from the Penske Chevrolet Allentown PA store and is offered with a copy of an advertisement of the same.
