It looks right to my untrained eye... but I can't tell if it's a repaint, just bad pics, or if it's just dirt

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/4743499678.html

Maybe not a "deal" @ $1475, but its my understanding these can be up to $1700 in original condition. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Looks nice. Not the original fork though. If done well, it might be a good thing. Anyone recognize the cover on the fork? Indian?

That seems like a good deal for someone intersted in this rare car.
There was a fully restored one for sale recently at $18,000

I heard a story about the Vespa 400. It may be apocryphal. Vespa was buying the motors from Fiat. Fiat said: "We'll sell you the motors but if you keep making cars we'll start making scooters.". Thus ended the Vespa 400.

Interesting story.
Being Italian companies, I am sure there a horses head in someones bed.

It looks like someone bought a storage locker FULL of old vespa parts. Some look rare.

I don't know if it's deal o' day.. but I like the look of this one..
I'd like to get it, clean any scum off, put a beefcake motor I have in, make the rest mechanically proper and go with this look..

Oh, whoa. You're in Portland... this scoot came out of Portland and made it's way to the east coast. Wonder if they really are related.

That looks exactly like one that's been for sale in Cincinnati for the past few years. I guess they made more than one tomato red P200 without a motor but with a blue milk crate? He has the motor in a box and wants considerably more.

NO idea if this would be a deal or not as no price is listed but I know people love these PK's and honestly if I wasn't in the middle of a resto and a sub-arctic deep freeze at the moment I'd probably be contacting this guy to get this one. I think these PK's just look the shit but that's me.

Looks like it came from a country that has different standards of correctness and a plentiful supply of bikes to cobble together sellable products.
