This thing is sitting for the last several many years in a bomb shelter in Jerusalem, they need to clear it out.

Another Mitsubishi for $850.

i just 'brokered' two deals picking up a 71 super 150 and a 66 bluebadge smallframe for $1000 each.

This one looks seriously cool.


1959 Triumph Tigress, $500


Scam!

I've never seen one of those before. I wonder how hard it is to find parts for something like that.

Parts are hard to find. This is a smoking good deal though. If it wasn't as far across coutry as possible from me I would have bought it.

It's a scam. Here is the ebay ad he got the picture from:

Sorry about that scam.

Here is something else-

'64 Allstate, $300

If real, this looks pretty sweet to my untrained eye:

WHAT A RARE FIND THIS IS A 1978 VESPA 50 SCOOTER I HAVENT STARTED IT SINCE LAST YEAR.
THE PARTS ALONE ARE WORTH THE PRICE. APPROX 5000 MILES. I WAS GOING TO RESTORE IT BUT HAVE NO TIME.

Lambretta $600

It drives me nuts when they don't add a picture. What's the big deal?

Little rant over.

Even though it isn't that hard to do, I think that a lot of people aren't very computer literate. Some ads are placed by relatives and neighbors.

I went to buy a miter saw last week and the guy was ancient and crotchety and his son had put the wrong price on the ad. I don't think he knew a thing about computers.

The thing that bothers me is when there is no picture and no description either- the people who write like they are being charged by the word.

Topper, $850

1964 Allstate, $400

Bianchi Orsetto, $550

http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/mcy/2231713661.html

Is that a Briggs & Stratton motor?

Yep, looks like a 3hp or maybe a 3.5.

$1000

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/mcy/2229329827.html

I might snap that one up if I was in CA.

Looks like a great deal......so who is getting it?

Cheers

no-one has a problem w/ no papers, no license plate? How do you know it belongs to the seller?

Well maybe CA is different.

Here in Maine it's normal for scooters to show up with no documents at all. As with any purchase, the buyer should have all his/her cards in check.

Cheers

Damn that ET3 is tempting! Too bad the DMV's in my area are a nightmare. I'm afraid of the hoops I would have to jump through to get this on the road legally. Sounds horrible...but might be great for parts for somebody that might need it.

Parts!!! Someone need to scoop that shit up, work out the bureaucratic kinks and get it rocking again. I actually dig the stripes too...

I don't know how much of a "deal" it is, but wow that bike is cherry.

Mickey tail SS with original run in sticker. Very nice. The price isn't outrageous but could probably be worked down a little with the seller.

So not really a deal....maybe it is. I don't know. Anyway, it's too big of a project for me but very interesting nonetheless. Cushmans are pretty big in my area and not too uncommon.

Here is a real Jewel, Very Rare, 1945 Cushman Airborne Civilian Model 53 (tandem / two seater):
This scooter is 100% Complete plus some.... It's 99% restored and Everything... Everything has been considered, restored and or professionally painted. The items not painted yet, but have been gone through are, the axels and motor and transmission (two speed) The scooter is ready to be bolted back together. The motor runs great. Has a pair of original seats and covers. One new aftermarket cover that also comes with it. NOS tires with new tubes. There is a large box of seals, stickers, wiring, nuts, bolts, generator belts, bushings, seat springs, bracket, braces, front suspension springs, etc, etc (What wasn't original from the scooter, came from Dennis Carpenter).. Everything is ready to go.
Absolutly must see to get a true appreciation of this scooter.
If you're a Cushman collector, you know what this is and what it's worth. You also know what goes into restoring one as well. Here it is, already restored, professionally painted and ready to be put back together. If I continue to put it back together, I will be posting it nationally, on a Cushman Club site for 5K or more. Here an opportunity to keep it local and keep it affordable.

Not everything is pictured. I could send more pics but they won't do it justice. More than likely you'll buy it if you're looking for one and you come see this one........

Serious inquiries only. I listed my phone number only to keep spammers at bay....
Please call if interested: 402-440-9582

This looks like a deal right now. Only 40 original miles.

Well, it is Texas after all. Probably has to have to keep his tires from melting in the summertime.

Congrats Grant. Looks like a quality addition to your fleet.
