Wow that's a super deal. Never seen a Smallie with a saddle seat

early 90's had that swing up saddle seat, and a different smaller tank to fit it. Odd to see it on this later big door frame. No more odd than whatever is going on with that headlight

the top of the tank on the big door had a captive nut for the swing saddle to screw into. Later they ditched the captive nut but there is still a recess in the top of the tank where it would have sat.

some smallstates came with the saddle seat.

Thanks for clearing that up

nope

Won't last long. I'd just go get it if I wasn't in NY.

Wards Riverside

No, it didn't

I contacted The seller this afternoon, but I was not quick enough. It has been sold.

It's too bad, I am looking for another project Scooter. I really want a P200 but at that price I would have worked with a P125. Oh well, I will continue looking.

I saw an add for one of those awhile back. I really like the look.

It's hard to believe that stores like Montgomery Ward's and Sears sold such cool stuff out of catalogs. Try buying something like that today where big box stores sell cheap plastic crap at the lowest possible price.

At one time you could buy a house or even a whole school building from a Sears catalog.

My house might be from a Sears catalogue or a kit from a similar manufacturer. I have never taken the time to investigate. It is small but very well built (1930).

My grandfather grew up on a farm in North Dakota with no electricity or running water. He told me the Sears catalog was coveted as a great source of toilet paper too. Nothing went to waste on that farm.

This would definitely qualify for a beautiful oddball I must have if I didn't have too many projects already.

Stella with supposed p motor and Parma top end for 1k

hey man, I've still got that black P200 project if you're interested.

I'll even meet ya half way in Wasco or Shafter!

this is about the perfect embodiment of a Stella as can be. slightly neglected, hopped up, and the price is right.

Travis Bickle approves!

Some assembly required.

Did you do the vinyl wrap on it? it appears vinyl. if so, would imagine there is wood behind it.

I wish it had more stickers on the front fender......might make me more interested

It can be saved

was used previously as a boat anchor.

Now THAT would make some rad wall art!

I've seen worse. Tires have some meat left on them.

I would buy this if I didn't have too many projects.

Not much better that the one above that was dredged out of the LA river.

Don't you dare repaint that!

FTFY.

It would probably break apart as you lifted it into position. Heck, it might fall apart on the way home on the trailer when you hit that first bump.

River in France a

and that Lam is not rotted or dented.

Dave....

Maybe Deal of the Day at half of that, or if it was lo mile 100% original including old paint, but 6500 seems considerably overpriced to me for a p200 motor and added P200 glovebox stereo. If you pimp out your vintage scoot a lot, you may be reducing its value rather than increasing it. And would a '62 VBB still be a roundtail??? Does this bike possibly belong here? : Bodgespotting

regardless of price, not a bodge.

we've covered it before.

It's the roundtail that made me wonder. Was '62 the transition year to squaretail like these '62 VBBs?





... but I did also find pics of '62 roundtails???

Blue one not a bodge, just a 'custom'. Looks well done

Yes '62 was the transition year from round to square. I had a '62 Cushman imported VBB that was roundtail.

62 vs 64 Allstate
