Good golly, Miss Molly!!! Look what showed up locally; a largely original 52 year old minibike. Had to buy it, of course. 71 Rupp, original Tecumseh HS40 engine and Rupp-branded tires, original paint, fenders, exhaust pipe, bars, chainguard, stand, torque converter, tank etc. Probably a repro set cover, non-original throttle. Starts easily and runs well, but burns a little blue / blow-by out the crankcase breather. Pretty cool piece, in my eyes.
