sweet..

 

[npence]

I cant believe it is up that high already that thing needs alot of work to get back to original probably $2,000. in missing parts and that is if you can find them. but still a sweet bike I kind of like the CWC springer on the front. those Kids

:shock: :shock: :shock: It's beautiful!
I wish I had that kind of money to spend on a bike but I'd have to sleep in the shed with it if I did. I would so trade my girl's Buick for that. :lol: :wink:

 

[scrumblero]

Insane...

 

[outskirtscustoms]

What do you guys think on a winning bid estimate? I'm going to throw out my guess at $7,000 definitely some interest in it and the bidding will get intense before it's over.

 

[karfer67]

wanna know how to win next year's build off?

 

[suparoospeedway]

youve got to be joking! how many of these are there? is this the "holy grail"?

 

[npence]

IN my opinion this is the holy grail of bicycle less then 100 known and every collector probably wants one in any condition.

reality check
buy a friggin car.

if you ever hear of a day where i spend $4000+ on a rusty bicycle, please do me a favor and just shoot me in the head. :lol:

 

[karfer67]

if i won the lotto i would do it. sorta like if i won the lotto i would go to the barret jackson auction and buy the lowest mile hemi car then proceed to burn the tires off it outside. oh well i can dream, sorta like my dream of a hot rodded bowden spaceliner

I'm guessing somewhere around $9000.00 Is this like the price is right. Get close but don't go over?

If I had thousands to spend on a funny looking museum piece, it would probably say Studebaker on the trunk lid. 8)

 

[outskirtscustoms]

I feel the same way, I'd buy a nice jeep before I'd spend that kind of money on a bike, but it would be nice to own one.

As far as Studebakers go there's a big junkyard here that is nothing but old Studebakers if you're looking for a project. All kinda ratty but the price might be right. He's also got a nice Desoto Firedome in the garage there but it's his baby and if you ask about it he might kick you out of the junkyard so don't ask. :lol:

I thought you were talking about a Lark.

 

[deorman]

I was actually thinking of a finned Hawk, or maybe a Commando, but Avantis are pretty awesome. I just can't see myself riding a Bluebird anywhere but a parade. :? I would drive a Lark. :mrgreen:
