What kind of car is this??????

BigBoost5.3Notch · 7/19/15, 7:22 PM

Just picked up what I beleive is a micro sprint but can't find any info on it. I believe its a Bailey chassis, it is for sure a Kawasaki 600cc motor, has 10" wheels. My questions concern the engine position and drive setup.

The engine is not in the same position as all the micros I see online. This one is facing a different direction. In other words if you are sitting in the car the exhaust ports face the left and the carbs are on the right side... From there the engine is mates to a old shaft drive motorcycle final drive. Then a sprocket from there to the axle..

Anyone know exactly what the heck this is? Thanks in advance

I have an engine like that, from a shaft drive 600 K, don't have much help from there, could just be a 600 mini, that ended up with a shaft drive engine! Bob

Is there a shaft drive rear end? I've never seen a micro sprint that wasn't chain drive. I wonder about a T.Q. ?

It is a chain drive rearend. I'll go into a little more detail. From the engine there are two small sprockets which are connected to each other and Feed the motorcycle rearend, which is basically a ring and pinion. From there another sprocket feeds the chain to the rear axle.

Did this car come from IL? I once saw a bailey micro with a sideways engine. Never seen any other micro like that before. Probably the same car.

Is it a blue frame? I know the kids that had it in illinois. If so it is a bailey.

I know he had to add alot of teeth to rear sprocket to make it go

Maybe some pictures would help in the identification.
