In 1931, Henry Ford announced that his company would produce an eight-cylinder car, if only because his competitors were building four and six cylinder cars. The result, introduced in 1932, was the Ford Motor Company’s first V8-powered car. The “Deuce” was a design and technological departure destined to become the quintessential hot rod template. This 1970's go kart version of the "Deuce" has provenance equally as impressive as it originally came from the famed Phipps estate (now Westbury Gardens) on Long Island's gold coast. Originally, it was a gift for one of the Phipps' children given in the early 1970's. It's current owner painstakingly restored the "Deuce" using the highest quality available products for vintage go kart restoration. As is evidenced on the emblem on the back, parts for the restoration came from the ultimate source for vintage go karts, Crue-Cut Manufacturing Company in Kansas. The body is original and repainted. The engine was rebuilt. What was purchased to restore this rare gem is as follows: tires, battery, bumpers, lights front and back, hub caps, interior (seats and rugs), all stainless nuts and bolts.
