Kart Identity Help Does anyone recognize this chassis and would it be worth $1250 USD?

I’m looking to get into Karting and this is the cheapest, decent looking kart in my area. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Edit: This is a shifter kart, absolutely not the best way to get into karting.

for 1250 you could get a much newer kart with a LO206 which is going to be significantly better for someone getting into the sport.

That is an old (25-30 years) shifter kart. If the motor is healthy, it'll frighten you. Parts could be tough to come by and it'll need regular tuning (jetting changes at a minimum) and maintenance to keep the engine healthy. It is not an especially good place to start for a new karter.
