$9800. 4L80E C5 V8 Kart. Unsure if it’s complete.

You can have a proper kart for less than that !

I don’t see a place to sit.... Is it a giant RC car?

There’s a sliver of a bucket seat riiiight in front of the engine.

This is just a kart for full-sized tracks.  :)

Apart from having two seats it seems worse in every way than a real kart :)

And i would definitely not use it without at least a cage and a firewall, for the price of adding those you can find used proper prototypes or open wheelers .

It wasn’ t obvious to me either but you can see the steering wheel a few feet in front of the engine.

It would be cool to design a body to fit the chassis but the way the radiator sticks up in back might be a challenge.

You can move that anywhere, plus dual electric fans.

What body are you supposed to put on it?

It’s rad as a rolling chassis, and I bet it’s fun to drive, but good luck putting a body that doesn’t look stupid on it....

Yeah, it’d have to be flush mounted with ducting I’d guess.

sitting position appears to be 1970s f1 car style.

legs are the crumple zone

I wonder how close a replica of something like this might work.

Aeromaster LMP.  That’ll do.

OK, yeah, that’d work

Clearly it deserves a body like this:
