I’ve some jingle in my pocket and considering another vintage goose. Always liked a conv 1000. What’s a well sorted one sell for nowadays? I want all the issues addressed already thanks. Gus
-
I’d want to pay about $2500 but the seller probably wants $3500-4,000. This one ready to ride at GoMoto in Minneapolis selling y my friend Marty. I think it was listed for $3200 but not sure of that price.

Or you could buy a project bike for $1800 and drop 3K or so into the restoration. At least that's what I am doing! :boozing:
When I am done I will have 5k into a bike I can sell for 3K. :grin:

Easy $10K............. That's what I am telling Mrs Bulldog...... :evil: :cool:

She looked good at 10 feet but paint needed refresh, so this is coming along with a polished rear fender, chrome crash bars and SS brake lines......

Kidding aside, is what you are willing to spend and seller is willing to sell. I paid $4500 for mine 2 years ago, and was mechanically perfect. Everything worked 100%, FAC air forks, Ikon shocks, etc. I did a refresh, new wiring harness, removed windjammer & Barcalounger seat & rack (available for sale) this was how I bought it. Did I overspend? Maybe on a cashflow/investment basis, but I always wanted one, and absolutely love it. Would do it again. Good luck on your search!

Thanks for the replies. I’d go 4-4500 for a nice one!
-
That bagger with the red and gold pinstriping is a sweet looking ride.
-
I paid just over CDN$3000 US$2,340 for a low milage 13,000 one but it needed new brakes and the wiring around the bars had been chopped around, a previous owner had no right arm so he swapped everything to the left side, Im probably into it for about $4,500 Canadian now and loving it,

You should be able to find one for that. Eventually.

If I was to ride again I would pay $10K for this Convert. Checked both boxes, DB bags and Windjammer. Best Guzzi I owned was a Convert.
-
Several months ago there were 3-4 floating around for sale.
Now that you’ve said outloud you want one, they’ll be unobtanium…
Typical… :thumb:

Hey Gusable, where are you located? I picked up my 77 last year for 3500 and I had to do almost 1000 miles round trip to bring it home, I had to do some work on it and it don't look like some of the work that masters on this forum are capable of but it runs and doesn't use oil or leaks and it is a joy to ride, so just as mine sits I wouldn't let it go for less than 5000, and if I could get Dave to make mine look like his I would drop everything and haul it to him today :boozing:

Where are you located? I know of one in NJ.

All this talk about Converts, and the pretty pictures,sure has me missing my Cal II automatic, big time! I should never have sold that bike. It was so sweet as a sidecar tug, and all around daily rider. :thumb:
Rick.

If anyone goes wish you build a Convert and won’t like to use a Vetter fairing, I have one I’d give someone.
Just send me a PM if interested.

LOL Kidding. That is a steal for anyone wanting a magic carpet ride...... All kidding aside, I'd be looking for at least $6K for one that clean with those upgrades. That would be quite the blessing for a forum member, but I think you are shorting yourself unless there are issues with the Cal II platform I am unaware of.
-
Sorry for the slow response. I’ve been slammed here. I’m in Dallas texas. Vintage hoarder pm sent!
-
PM sent. Getting in line behind gusable just in case. This would make a great 50th wedding anniversary present to me and my bride. I just got 2 new hips on the 11th so this would be a perfect way to break back into riding later in the year.

Congrats Gus. Looks like you got yourself a nice one, like most of Curts bikes. Let me know if you get cold feet.

I am certainly biased, but the Call II skunk is still the classiest Guzzi ever.
-
It’s VERY pretty indeed!!

My thoughts exactly. I actually saw this bike a couple weeks ago and it's all that.
-
OMG, THAT price for THAT Cal II Auto, now why didn't I think of just fishing here casually for a Convert? Or a 1000S? Congrats, Gusable, you just bypassed the deficiencies in the Convert platform (short swingarm, ineffective engine breathing, possible sheet-metal flywheel, non-existent charging system...) and stepped right up to the best you could get (apologies to Convert owners, I've owned several). Except the Convert has a MUCH more comfortable saddle, but hey, you can deal with it....
-
Put me in 3rd, behind Gusable and spmoto, should either change their minds.
I can bring cash and pick up at your earliest convenience, when and wherever that may be. :cool:
-
If Gus is smart, Curt would already have his money and a flight is booked.
-
The deal is in the works pending a jenga piece or two being put in place :cool:

For the record ran it by Deb and had no idea she was as attached to the Cal II as she was, and she was totallly against us getting rid of it. So guess we're going to hold on to it for bit more. Sorrry for any confusion, but happy moto wife, happy life.

They are BOTH keepers!

I’m telling yuh, we should stop buying bikes and trade them amongst ourselves…some regional location you can ride into, park your Guzzi, walk around checking them out, and try another….
“Thanks for the cal3 mike, out for two weeks..”
“That’s great Sarge, I’m using Sam’s SPNT for awhile…”
“I’m wondering if there’s another Breva w bags on it…”
“Steve brought one in last week when he borrowed the Sporti..”
