Description
Yes, I had a yellow and red Krazy Kar sometime back in the late 60's or early 70's in Ohio. I always remembered it as one of the best toys I ever owned. I remember you could go very fast in a straight line or in circles just by using arm power. Seems to me that the thin plastic wheels became worn due to skidding, and it had to be thrown out. I always wondered why no one continued to make it. Maybe it went too fast and kids went sailing out into traffic.

You can still get one from Back-to-Basics Toys (reproduction), but very expensive!!
I had one of those yellow and red Krazy Kars too. It was in the mid 1960's. I thought that was the coolest thing. If I ever hit the lottery, I'm going to have an adult sized Krazy Kar made out of space age materials!
I remember as a kid, having a toy, like a krazy kar, but it was green, not red and yellow like all the ones i see...does anyone have a idea if it went by another name?
My younger brother had one that was red and yellow, but I found an orange one at a garage sale many years ago that we still have. I, too, want an adult version!
