AMT 1/25th Bonneville Streamliner Go-Kart

[tim boyd]

This model was included in a how=to article that appeared in Model Cars magazine about ten or twelve years ago. 

The GoKart frame and engine elements were strewn across a number of 1962 AMT Annual kits (you had to buy all of them to get the parts to complete the Go-Kart).  You could build the model with either single or dual engines, and the engines nicely replicated a popular McCullough Go-Kart engine from the era. 

Then, in 1963 AMT included the entire list of Go-Kart parts, along with a newly tooled Bonneville style envelope body, clear canopy, and larger wheels/tires.  The images below show this version. 

Round 2 recently retooled some of the missing parts and included the G0-Kart (but not the streamliner) in their 1960 Chevy Apache pickup reissue.  The entire Go-Kart, including all the Bonneville parts, is currently available in resin from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland.  

 

Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions....Best Regards, TIM
