Re: Yep another Turf rider restoration
The corvair is a 1964, I Picked it up a few months ago. got it running after sitting for 20+ years. but needs a new fuel tank, clutch and windshield. So decided to let someone else take on that project. waiting on the new owner to come and get it.

Re: Yep another Turf rider restoration
Tossed some paint on the fender to see if I liked the color. I think I will go with this. Lime green pearl with green flake. gives it that Kustom 60's look. What do you guy's think?. may add some plum purple to break up the green.

Re: Yep another Turf rider restoration
Just about finished with the Turf rider golf cart!.. Does it have that 60's Kustom car look?.. Seats are repurposed 50's diner seats. still need to paint the dash, find a kool top and finish off the rear bumper with some 60's exhaust fins!

Re: Yep another Turf rider restoration
I could swear I saw a cart that looks just like this for sale on craigslist in AZ this weekend!
|
Re: Yep another Turf rider restoration
Yep I put it up for sale! I had a guy from Mich that wanted it. but the shipping is killing it.. so if anyone wants it. its in Mesa AZ email me at murrayeliminator@yahoo.com. I'm asking 2500 for it. I have a top on it now that needs painted, I also have all the Original parts That I didn't put back on it. like the rear bumper, the original top, the rear tray, original seat and some small trim parts.
|
Re: Yep another Turf rider restoration
I sure did want it. Darn, though. $1200 to ship put it out of my current price range.
For those who are looking and are closer to it, BUY IT !!! I doubt there's anything more retro and cool. |
Re: Yep another Turf rider restoration
The Turf rider has been SOLD!
It's staying in Ariz.. I gave the new owner the link for this site, so I hope he chimes in with updates on it.. |

And I found something that even with shipping from the west coast is within my current ability to spend. It may take a couple of years, but this Turf Rider will be nice again.
It is on a trailer and should be in Michigan within the next two weeks. |
Re: Yep another Turf rider restoration
Glad it worked out for you REP!... :thumbup:

Re: Yep another Turf rider restoration
Will a Lestronic II charger work on my golf cart?
I learned today that the Turf Rider IV that I purchased will not be including a battery charger. Though I was unaware that when I purchased it, the fact is, I now need to purchase a charger. A person local to me has a 36 V charger made by Lestronic. From the looks of the cart side of the cord, I believe it was for an EZGO. It is said to be working properly, and the lowest that he will take is $100. If I cut off the EZGO connector, and replace it with the proper one to attach to my Turf Rider IV, will this work to charge the 6 V batteries, 36 V system, for me? I plan to post this in a couple of different areas to try to touch people that know electric carts and charging systems. Thank you. |
