Pretty sure that's what it looked like, maybe the back end was slightly different perhaps another year or model, dunno for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes This was a later model , after reading some info on it's design. The gubbermint told them back in the day , that it had to have F- R crash impact zones , so they added some spring loaded cylinders and moved the wet lead acid batteries out from under the seats to out front and rear in a tray. The body color matched battery covers are missing on this unit. These things have quite a cult following with updated batteries and electrical controllers + higher h.p. motors + switching + tires wheels. Not my thing.
