Not a GT but I just couldn't leave it to be melted down. I have a 5 H.P. Briggs for it and need to get a sprocket for the motor to have it running. Then I'll strip it back down and paint it.

A 5HP briggs would be plenty to make that a fun ride! Had a 5hp Briggs on a home made Go cart when I was a kid. Lots of fun!!

How old is it?
Nice save.
Not sure of age. I can't find any thing on the frame anywhere.

Quick glance I believe its a Bird Engineering Mini Trike, Produced some where in the 70s. All the cool old stuff was made in the 70s!
Edit.
Definitely a Bird Engineering Mini Trike. At one time it had a fiberglass engine guard/fenders on the rear, but usually they are always gone.
Reasonably rare, I can't find a whole lot of information on them.

Local Shriner's used to have 3 wheelers something like that but to many wrecks with their shinagins so went to 4 wheeled machines. Safer but they just got crazier.
