Any AMT car kit experts out there?

The Go-Kart was part of the AMT 1963 Ford Pickup issue. Believe it was called the Bonneville, based on a real go-cart from the late 50's. The AMT 1963 Chevy Pickup had a model of a Triumph motorcycle included. The 1961 and 1962 issues had a trailer included.

Wasn't the go-kart also sold in one of those AMT packages that also had engines, chromework and other costomizing bits? I remember a bunch of them from when I was a kid, back when we still had mammoths running loose.

you had mammoths? we just had those pissy raptors to ride to school.

They may have appeared in Parts Packs but they also came 1 piece at a time in most of the annual car kits. I have a few odd pieces that came in various kits. If you didn't buy one of everything offered that year you never finished the go-cart unless you could trade with others for those parts.

They are still around, and you can get one for yourself. Every once in a while I see an ad that states "Mammoth Sale". :-)

Mastodons, OTOH, are very rare. I think the last ones worked for the railroads. ;)
