Kids VW Pedal Kart
strex - May 11th, 2004 at 10:38 PM

Hey has anyone got any idea where I can get my son a VW pedal kart, ideally one with a handle to push him around. I saw one in the shape of a Karmman Ghia at the Easter Nats but never got to speak to the guy pushing it .. If anyone knows of something like that new or old, Beetle, KG Kombi or ideally a Type III (Yeh right!) let me know or message me .. Thanks

They pop up on ebay from time to time. Might pay to check there???

We recently found one on E bay. hopefully it should arrive shortly. we have thought about seeing if we can make them as we have had a few freinds say that they would like one. So when we get it, we will try and make a mold for it and start making fibreglass shell pedal cars. We thought we would make Baja ones first has we can't use the same bidy due to copyright laws ans who knows maybe a type 3 at a latter date.
We will let you know what happens.

So it was you who outbid me on the "pink" one?

i guess it was and my wife would have done anything to get it. Just another toy to add to the collection. the house is more like a shrine to VW's. Pitty it isn't big enough for me to use

There is one sitting in the car museum at Echuca, Vic. It is Ruby red and in excellent condition. The only thing is that he wornt part with it. There were also a split Kombi and 58 beetle in his back paddock. That was about 4 year ago though. I only just remembered when I saw the picture of that great peddal car. Isn't it amazing what will jog the old memory.

That was max (aka herb) being pushed around at the nats, his uncle found that KG at the tip and they restored it, nice work...
