Too far gone? I bet Fred Flinstone would think it was just about right.

Just depends on how handy you are Ginchy. Its too far gone for oily rag treatment and would be a shame to ruin the vestige. Ive got mates that are fabricators that would have that done for a few boxes of beers and a bbq pack. id blast and paint it, otherwise looks mostly complete and straight. I can tell now, im going to regret not buying it.

Vestige is the new patina Razz emoticon

Had to refresh my memory on "vestige" - I like it! From Patina to Vestige is not that big a jump sometimes! But yeah, that does need a fair bit of fresh metal in there!

I was actually referring to the hole in the floor and Fred Flintstone, like this -

$1500. 64 Vespa with sidecar. Someone should check out. Sidecar has to be worth a few coins on its own.

1958 Lambretta FDC Giardinetta "Surrey" for sale. $1655

If it were any closer to me I would be buying it already, even though my wife will slap me if I buy another project.

Something about the rolling beer cooler aesthetic appeals to me. I turned down the opportunity to buy one and have not yet forgiven myself.

I've got a Japanese copy of the Rolling Stones' "Got live if you want it" and the circle in the center of the record has a naked man with his hands around where his junk would be (that's where the hole in the center of the record is) and the reverse is his backside.. Then.. on the outside of the album it came with a little packet.. and in the packet is a tiny "condom" you're supposed to put this condom on the record post and then he's holding his wang a/ a rubber on it.. It's def the strangest one I've seen..

And then there's the Mexican version of Sticky Fingers with the hand in a can of grease.. I guess they thought the man's lower 1/2 with jeans and a big bulge of junk was too racy!

T5 on Ebay
Not a bad price for a T5 if the bids don't go crazy. Sitting at $1500 with no bids. Didn't take $1325 so its re-listed.

Cosa clutch, 155 Polini and a load of 80's plastic.

I can't fit another scoot in the garage or wallet. It's re-listed at $1500. Somebody should pick this ugly 80's thing up.

I dunno if this is a great deal but that P200 (aside from being my favorite stock color) looks pretty mint considering. One owner scoot! Also, I don't think I'd ever want a sidecar unless someone wants to buy me a house with tons of garage space, still, there has to be a retiree somewhere that's drooling over all the trips around the RV park you could take in this thing.

It's a good deal. The sidecar is not actually attached, judging by the furniture dolly beneath it.
