My uncle has two of these to sell and I am having a very hard time finding information about them. All I can gather from the tags on the trikes is that they come from Thrillco Inc in Flint Michigan. They resemble a 3 wheeled go kart with handlebars, similar to the JC Penny trikes. They have fiber glass fenders and seat area, 5 horse briggs & stratton motors, left and right rear brakes, and appear to have differentials. If I had to guess on a year I would say late sixties or seventies, only because they still have breaker points.

If anyone has any info they would be willing to share I would really appreciate it. I can't check this site as often as I would like to, but feel free to e-mail me, monstermatic319@hotmail.com. Again, any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm still searching but no luck so far. Maybe it will spark someone's interest if nothing else.

Thanks for the replies. I think it might have said "manufactured by" above the Thrillco. That sticker on the fender is from a dealer. Come to think of it they both have that sticker. Why didn't I think of calling the number? :wondering Duh, I guess I better give it a shot. Even if it's not the original sellerthey might know something about them.
