I don't know if it merits a separate thread, but thanks for posting! There are a few parts in there that I need for my VBB (legshield badge & tail lights, to name two).

oh, that P looks great!

Yeah, if I wasn't already committed to picking up a Smallie & Stella, I'd probably make a run at it. And if I had the cash to do both, it's right on my way to pick up the first two scooters.

Scooter M posted that thing in the back of someones wagon this morning.

The VBA has been acquired

By Me

nice score!

Outstanding work on that VBA!

Love the patina too!

Its funny, timing is always funny. I've been talking with the seller for a few weeks trying to make arrangements to meetup, since before they posted on CL. It finally worked out yesterday, so I drove down to pick it up. Then this morning here it is on the Parts Deal o Day. I'm glad I swooped in before the crowds

It's rough, but totally saveable. The patina looks better in person-reminds me of FridayMattinee's build.

The motor is 100% locked up-every nut and bolt rusted solid...but no worries, as I have other plans

My stable keeps growing, even when I tell myself-no more

great, GL, now I have to start another box for you!

Love it. Even more patina than mine! That thing is perfect. Great score.

The more vb's I see people grab, the more I love me vbb and the more I regret stripping the paint, even though it was horrible rattlecan.

Chris and I have been watching that VBB, and I was thinking ORANGE!

But like Chris pointed out, I'm a sucker for a puppy in a box. I'm glad GL picked it up!

It did work out quite well. Got a killer deal too. If there is a scooter near me in need of rescue, I will be there! The Lion's den grows

It almost looks like a real actual scooter. I smashed together this VBA real quick, and pulled a few things from my hoarding stash. Being a scooter addicted hoarding hoarder does have its benefits from time to time. I scoured together a saddle seat, luggage rack, buddy seat, original paint matching wheel & tire, fork bearing hardware, headset bolt; and I borrowed this green cowl from another Allstate project. I'm sure I have more when it actually comes time to do a real build. Roughly slammed out the legshield dents with a deadblow. I'll probably start a real thread, but for now; thats the update. Happy Friday -carry on

^^^ this last pics makes the scoot look bad ass. Gotta build a grunge scoot some day. Good luck with it.

The VBA's and the first year(?) VBB's maintained the round tail instead of the license plate flat. It makes such a difference to the sexy value in my opinion. Think these are some of the best looking scoots that Piagio built - second only to the various wide body's that had a bit of curve to the leg shield.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course...
Great find tho!

She's a beaut Clark

I love it!

Throw that Rally engine in it with an 8" back wheel.

Actually the built Rally 225 engine will go into the yellow GL

For the VBA I have Sprint-V cases with a jacked up inlet pad, perfect for a Reedblock+kit; so we can make this Rat go Plaid

My man!! That's a solid gold plan.

Anyone on here the winning bidder? I could use one of those 150 legshield logos.

I bid on it, but didn't win.

This is pretty interesting. It's mostly modern era parts and accessories, but still potentially some pretty cool stuff in there.

Vespa Motor Scooter Parts & Accessories - Bulk Sale Only
$2,000

This is an opportunity to buy out remaining inventory of Vespa motor scooter parts, accessories, tools, manuals display materials and lots more! Looking to sell bulk of everything to one buyer. Prime stuff to resell online. Too many items to list. Looking for $2000 or best offer.

^^ that's 2K easy money.

shipping kills it for me, but if I was in a day or so drive striking distance I'd be on this like a bird on a June bug.

the resell would be tedious but ROI wise, you'd be looking at a tidy profit to put into the "vintage scooter slush fund" and probably a steak dinner for two. the bonus is that you get to keep anything vintage and/or cool.

12 hours each way for me. Not that I've been thinking about it or anything.

Hell, I'd almost do it just to get that sign.

it's one of those things that if you have the space and the time it could be quite lucrative. maybe you wind up with a sign and some cool vintage shit too. but you'd for sure make some dough on the parts that I can see.

everybody is over here looking at the resale red frame like it's the centerpiece while that sign and the parts are the real MVP's

That sign is so nice!

Sad to see a Vespa dealer fold.

Yeah, I'm looking at the topcases, new-with-tags gloves, seats, wheels, tires, windscreens, etc. and seeing money. That frame is pretty much the only part I don't know wtf I'd do with.

I could use the ET frame, for the right price. It would save me a lot of body work on a project I picked up. Keep me in mind for the frame, if anyone on here buys the parts lot.

if you wants ET frame, kajiit can has. along with all the other shit that goes with a frame. like just sayin'

I appreciate the offer. I don't really need a frame. I was just thinking that ET frame in the parts group was the right color and would be an easy parts swap for the ET project I have.


Some one was hard on the frame, but the rest is ok... One of these days I'll get around to it.

I was motivated to get going on the ET after seeing this thread with the ET frame. I still need a couple of ET parts to wrap up the project, if you're still offering? Right side rear lower faring, left mirror (current mirror is scratched and rubbed away), and left front fender reflector.

Someone is Seattle is selling a set of P200 cases with a reed block on them for $400.

Sent message, I would like to move my LML parts to a p200 case. Paid using PayPal, need to figure out shipping.
