My 13-year Frame-Off Restored Golf Cart Project is Finally Done, so of Course I’m Selling It.

  • Many years ago I started a golf cart project - the classic story of getting in way over my head and expanding the scope of the restoration to ridiculous levels. I won't say it wasn't fun to do, but it was also a bit ludicrous. Before it was finished, however, it got sold to one friend, then another, then another and finally another before I bought it back from him and finished it. This is that story.
    Cart will be auctioned live at Premier Auction Group's Gulf Coast Classic on December 1 & 2, with internet bidding on Proxybid. Now that it's all ready to go, might as well not bother to enjoy it, right?

    Bill, the only guy who can make a golf cart story as interesting as the history of even the most collectible cars.

    These non-car stories are hilarious! 13 year frame off powder coated golf cart! That’s just too funny! I know it’s common with Cushman’s and the like, but it’s just enjoyable! Thanks Bill!

      Pfft Bill's tolerance is so high, he'd never get a DUI. His BAC could be 4 times the legal limit, but his driving would remain smooth and steady; wouldn't catch the eye of police.

    Pretty awesome paint job there, with great colors. Yup, that's one dope cart! So, I gotta say I'm a big fan of your reviews/content. We're definitely on the same page humor-wise. I think it's due in no small part to being the same age and similar sensibilities. Furthermore, I certainly appreciate your (always) impressive research, detail, and historic insight. Keep on kicking *ss with your ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ videos (& all you do)!

  • @MisterMikeTexas
    @MisterMikeTexas 7 месяцев назад +3

    I don't think I've ever seen an EZ Go with oversize mag wheels! That's cool. After you sell the cart, you should customize your golf bag, and build that Car Play stereo into it, and a couple of nice speakers. Then you can do like Rodney Dangerfield's character in Caddy Shack, and rock out on the course! 😁 With Blue Tooth earbuds of course.

  • @brockjennings

    Glad to see a golf cart video that did not devolve into a diatribe about ball washing techniques, improving the grip on your shaft and lamenting about missing the hole despite multiple strokes.

  • @WindmillChef

    Bill,
    I get it that it's a bit of a Florida thing but you know that you're a retired "has been" when you spend significant resources and time on souping up and customizing a golf cart!
    Having said that, it's a sharp looking cart 🙂

  • @thenotoriousrvh6091

    The story of this golf cart reminds me of a 1978 Regal I'd bought off a guy to deliver pizzas in so I could mod my 84 RX7 in 1988. Paid him $200 for the regal. I did some cosmetic and interior work on it, plus my tips doubled driving that POS looking car 😂. I left the pizza place and didn't need the 2nd car. Sold ot to my mechanic neighbor who did a lot of engine and brake work to it. He then sold it to a paint & body friend of his who painted it. Idk where that car is at today, at the rate it was going it wouldn't surprise me to see it roll across Barrett Jackson. Everybody that got the car did a lot of work to it. It affectionately got named Christine.
