Modern Vespa

So I've decided to bite the bullet and sell off my VB1 piece-meal, since I'm pretty much already upside down on the scoot and have some serious work ahead.

I originally purchased the VB1 thinking it'd be a relatively easy resto, until I got it home and realized the entire bottom of it was rotted out. Yes, I know, I should have looked closer. I removed the rotted section (I drilled out ~120 rosette welds and went through 4 body shop drill bits) and purchased a replacement piece from Italy. And 3 years later that's where it's sitting now. Completely disassembled, bottom of the floor removed and awaiting body work and paint.

A brief run down of what I have for sale (prices are each + shipping):

2x motor side cowls - $75 dented/bent, $100 excellent shape
1x storage side cowl - $80 with bent door, $100 w/good door
2x storage side cowl doors (1 really bent, 1 really good)
2x front fenders - $60 dented, $100 good
1x NOS front fork (still has wax on the threads) - $100
2x Y flywheel covers, 1 slightly and 1 excellent - $50 bent, $75 excellent
1x complete air box - $75
1x rear half of air box only - $40
1x froze motor, original to scoot (don't know extent of problem, broken shifter unit, no kick start lever) - $250
1x supposedly rebuilt motor. Looks excellent, good compression, I turn it over every couple of weeks and have a small amount of oil in the piston. - $750
1x broken speedo. Glass missing, needle broke, face faded. Appears rebuildable - $120
1x headset - $75
1x set of headset tubes - $40
1x broken seat - $75
1x rear seat frame - $60
1x brake light, no lenses (has light for license plate) - $40
2x aluminum engine shrouds - $125
1x ferrous engine shroud - $50
1x complete original electrical switch - $100
1x gas tank (interior surface rust, no holes, very good condition) - $75
and a lot of small odds and ends, all labeled and numbered.

If somebody thinks I'm way off in price, over or under, let me know as prices are OBO. Not a whole lot of this stuff comes up for sale often so I priced it where I'd pay for it if I needed the part to finish a scoot. I just honestly want to recoup some of my cash and put it towards a twist and go the wife can ride. I paid over $900 for the rebuilt engine alone plus a ton more for all the extra rare parts like the Y-flywheel covers, airbox, cowels, engine shrouds.

I would definitely love to sell the engines locally and will drive up to 150 miles to meet someone, they are a PITA to ship but I'm willing to do it.

If someone is in the Chicago area and wants the entire lot, it's yours for $1500 cash. A shit ton less than what I paid for everything.

Here's a link to some of the pictures, I have closeups of everything and can get more info so let me know if there's something you want.

I've decided to part this engine out and will sell it off in pieces instead. Once I get it torn down, I'll update with a list of what's available from it.

I figured this way more people could benefit and get their engines up and running.

I want to know do you sell the body?
And how much does it cost?
Thank you

Sorry, the body isn't for sale. Since it's already half cut-up I may do some sort of project with it.
