Modern Vespa

way too high, I'd offer $.70 cents, if he comes back with $.80 tell him he's dreamin.

that is a solid bike, i'd generally be like /oh, well, i'd like it at a grand/ but with the condition of the paint, work to the loom, the state/tune of the engine, it'd be worth it. i'd probably still haggle it to 1.5k.

dude! that's all i had kicking around in the back of my truck...

okay, i suppose i'll throw in those two ratchet straps as well...

i'm with you in that i'd pull the trigger at 1K without blinking, 1.5 is still a decent deal.

personally i'd show with 12ish and nit pick some nonsense and then wheel it away at 14 + change.\

... but knowing that I'm gonna be putting 1K into the thing over the next year...

Yeah that Super at 1500 is not bad at all, would make a nice ride.

Schnectady NY $600



This is a barn find. All the parts are there. This is a large framed Vespa. Engine is 180cc. This is a VSC1T which means it is a Vespa Super Sport, ("SS180"). This special edition comes with the bigger motor than most Vespas which are 150cc. It is a perfect project bike.

One More.... $900 in the Philly area



I am selling my 1964 Vespa Allstate, was a "barn find" about 8 years ago, and was reworked by a local scooter mechanic as well as Pat Guagenti, who was the master mechanic at Scooterworks in Chicago, he moved east and wrenched for a bit before passing on to that great scooter rally in the sky. Hasn't been started in a few years, but will with a bit of good fuel and a good plug, and has a ton of brand new parts. Engine rebuilt, new flywheel, cruciform, top end, new tires, etc. Has been stored for a few years, needs a new home. No title, come down with cash and take 'er away.

More likely a Rally 200, look at the autolube gas tank w/ the bulge on top, giant horn & the block lettering on the leggy. Still a great deal!

Even better deal really....A Rally is a pretty straightforward largeframe rebuild....I just watched an ss180 motor come together last weekend that my friend is rebuilding. What a nightmare.

Even still, I concur it looks like a rally, but what's up with the VIN listed? That prefix would be a SS180 wouldn't it?

rally 180 perhaps?

either way, that's a deal.

i'd snap that up and sit on it till i had the time to do something with it.

ss/rally 180: east coast passes on this one, for now. at least i am.
i can't be renting a truck twice in a month.

offering up to the midwest.

all there, no rust & OK motor w/ all the new bits needed to get it going again

worth a look if you want a nice older project, just posted on ScootNet @ $1000

in California so I guess that's not too a bad deal there?

smooth fender that appears to be intact and original with some spares for 1K?

meh. if i was looking for a project i'd probably bite.

no tags and title though, so i'd say 750 cash

with the fact that stuff has been taken apart (and probably some bits lost) i might even say like 5-6; but it is all there and not hammered ass so if you were into it and looking for a project you really couldn't go wrong.

however, i'm more interested in the red thing that's in the background...

-g

Yeah. If I was on the hunt, I'd want to go have a look w/ some dollars in my pocket. Good potential here for a proper paintless 'restore' if it's as solid as it seems.

I was gonna comment on the lift for the red thing to the right. This fellow is serious about his toys and probably got only fine things for his gonna-be Vespa too.

i could go either way on the vba, looks like some cracks have been welded

welded well too,,,,,,,might be an italian car workshop


buscotini auto repairs or something

10 bucks it's a Fiero with a Magnum Pi body kit.

your on ten bucks says its the real deal

if the motor's real good

Not really a deal unless you just happen to be looking for a solid looking RAT P200 semi fast and w/ title, that nobody will steal. Fresh on ScootNet w/ a pic you can't see shit on.

Super rare Garelli Monaco. $300.

Is this anything?

It's mostly all there but I'd say $1000s more appropriate.

It looks like it is missing the Ulma leg shield trim, but it has the Ulma front rack. Other than that, I agree with MJ - the price is a little high.

I paid 1500 about 3 years ago for essentially the same bike - partially disassembled, same year AND color. Mine had a curled edge on the legshield I had to straighten, but the paint is slightly better & still original, cowls included. The motor was out, but complete & ran well. I did find original 044 legshield trim to replace the damaged pieces but everything else was there and OK.

I think the Rally is my best bike & I'd do it again. I didn't get all that new stuff with mine either. If I was local and Rallyless, I'd start at that 1000, but bring the 1500 in hopes he'd come down a little from his 1750. He may get it if the bones are good and it is complete, including trim.

Plus you might get $12 for that white thing stuck on the deluxe BBQ rack(backrest & spare mount) that looks to be in good shape

That rally looks great. If it's $1750, that probably means $1500.

The accessories are a good sign (Ulma front rack and BBQ box still intact... generally means it was not overly abused). If the paint on the body is salvageable, not a bad deal if it's as clean as it looks in the photo.

Somebody jump, quick . . .

Nasty frame but try to find a P200 engine for less, even if it needs help. Way more than $300 in parts available there!

I'd buy that in a heart bit if I was up there. I have a frame just waiting for those parts.

...x...

If it runs decent looks like a pretty good score.

Listing is gone or I'd be the new owner and tell my wife what I did afterwards.

thats how i bought my last Lambretta.
60% of the time, it works: everytime.

Offer to do electrical work on his car... after swapping the CDI and coil on blue you're qualified.

Gotta move real quick to catch those cheap ones. I don't even think that ad was up for a full day.

yeah, anyone got a pic of it by chance?

I went looking for it yesterday and there were a lot of dirt-cheap Stella's (<$1,000 well-ridden, garage queens for not much more), the Unicorn--I mean $300 P200--was gone.

P200 $1000 Clean title, collector plates

Voodoo, get on it

dude! that's a nice deal

unless there's something we're not seeing or the motor has been completely exploded inside and out, that's a deal! I would buy it if it were close.

I said yes, wife said no. Guess who won?
