Modern Vespa

Both sold. Of course it happened on a day my son and I were camping in the Blue Ridge.

Not long after that posted either

Original looking 63 Allstate, with Stella engine and a title, good start to a project!:

Not a scooter but pretty cool.

He rides a Harley 🤮

Basket case 1975 Rally. Way too much of a project for me and obnoxious that he didn't list a price, but maybe someone will see a DOD in this.

Ooosh. The sight of that is enough to make an angel weep.

^that Small frame is mine!
Any MV member can have the extra smallie frame next to it as a package deal for cheap.

I'm contemplating 1) logistics; 2) level of domestic disharmony

if those showed up here...

That way I can justify coming over to buy more parts

A Sprint 150 for $8,000? How does that work? Does a side car really make it that much more valuable?

there's $4500 in a gym bag sitting on the seat of the sidecar.

CM, so it has been said, so it must be done!

(also I need to get rid of more parts!)

LOL!

Sadly, I just got a serious bill from the IRS. It's like they sensed I was about to do something for myself and swooped in to prevent it.

Thank you! This is the question I am asking myself and the reason for the post.

Just for the sake of discussion to get the collective's opinion can we consider some of the stuff in the post please? If true do they add value?

1. It has black Cali plates issued in year of manufacture.

2. It has had structural reinforcing to frame and modifications to the engine to make it reliable.

3. Sidecar is "quality reproduction" of period correct "Rocket".

I know that you can spend a lot of money on any vehicle and do a really quality job and document everything and still you are lucky to get your money back out of it, depending on the vehicle. I have also heard from family members back in the day that a Shelby Cobra or speedster kit assembled in the garage will sell for more than what you have invested and could be considered a viable business enterprise in the right circumstances (if you don't have to rent a workshop space). You may not make a lot but you get to work in your own garage with your own dogs, cats, and beer breaks on something that for the most part you enjoy doing.

If I go by a couple of the previous posts the "priced to move" amount for this is $3,500 - $4,000. Is that correct? Don't you think its still a DOD @ $6,000 if the listing is accurate and all work to the scoot very high quality?

I rarely see a scooter with a sidecar come up for sale. I will fully admit to not really knowing the value of the not so modern scoots hence the posting and questions.

There is someone in my area listing a 1982 Toyota 4wd pickup for $42,000. From the pictures on the listing he has a really nice garage and reading between the lines I am guessing he does this for a living as well as a hobby.

The point is that if you pick the correct vehicle you may actually get more than what you put into it. I am guessing that a 1969 original black plate 150 sprint with sidecar is not it?
