1975 FW & Associates Kids Mini C3 Corvette Go-Kart

Here is a genuine piece of Corvette memorabilia that rarely surfaces on the collector market — a 1975 FW & Associates Kids Mini C3 Corvette Go-Kart, built in Ohio to celebrate the final year of the C3 Corvette Stingray convertible. These charming little machines were never sold to the public; instead, they were purchased by Chevrolet dealers across the country and awarded as raffle prizes and promotional showpieces. Approximately 51 years on, only a few hundred original bodies are believed to survive, making this an exceptionally scarce find. Finished in an eye-catching red over a crisp white interior, it captures the sweeping, Mako shark-inspired lines that made the C3 an icon. Fresh mechanicals mean it starts on the first pull and runs with ease. Whether displayed alongside your full-size Corvettes or enjoyed by the next generation of enthusiasts, this delightful kart is a true head-turner.
