Modern Vespa

No more room and $ for another bike, but might be a good deal for someone else.

How does that work if it hasn't been registered for that long? Do you have to pay for years that it wasn't registered? What's involved in registering a "barn" find?

Here's the email from the owner:
It is a 1974 Vespa Rally 200 in the color red with white stripes. Stock. It has only been registered in the original owner's name and then the widow sold it to my husband over 9 years ago. He refurbished the engine and gas tank all by scooterworks in chicago, but never completed the body. He wanted to finish it to 100% restore and then register it, but the project was never finished. He is going to look for the receipts, but most likely somewhere in storage. Also, on the list was going back and registering just to sell it, but dmv stated that it would be a "barn" find and be pretty simple to do.

We are pretty firm on the $2000. and a few months back before we moved and we were selling it for $2850. but ran out of time to meet with anyone before the move. So here we are again in the same situation, but now have time meet with YOU and get a nice home for it!

i think its a nice red rally there..

amazing deal!

Oh man..these are the types of ads that get you going. An estate sale where people are giving away stuff for cheap. If it's in good shape, I bet someone can walk away with that Rally for 1200-1500 bucks cash if you know how to swindle a bit and the owner has no idea what it is.

Man, that's an awesome deal.

You mean pull the clutch and try to start it? I overheard someone at a ride said they did that to get the price lower for a find.

Found a link for the "barn find".

love it

Nice! but what does it need? Bone stock parts are rare and few.

Try to get a old registration from the last person who had it registered.
Then just make out a false bill of sale from that person on the last registration.
It makes getting a title that much easier.
Besides its very old and wont be questioned.
