Zero bids so far but 18 days left. Lots of other early 70's bikes. Most look like they were bought to be parted out and just left outside. :sad:
The Ambassador looks complete and for the right price would make a great project for someone with the skills.

That is an interesting collection listed. Worth a look for fun.
I looked at the whole list of junkers in this auction at:

If someone gets that Ambo for $55...they will have scored BIG TIME!! :thumb: :thumb: :bow: :wink:

Crazy assortment out there. Most of that should go pretty cheap since it all looks like it left outside.

I wonder how many of these things have titles. I bet, none.

I think they would get something from the auction house......a bill of sale at the least. Then I guess it depends on how your state DMV handles it.

up to 600 with 13 days to go. What is your guess to the final price? Assuming billofsale only.

I really have no idea. But I hope it goes to a member who documents the restoration with lots of pictures. :thumb:

Buying a restoration project is looking like buying a dog. Any difference in purchase price is immediately outweighed by the cost of ownership. I’m into my $200.00 G5 for well over $5,000.00 in parts and it’s not nearly finished. Not to say I don’t love finding a deal though. That bike is beautiful though and looks remarkably well preserved.

Up to $950 with 5 days to go. States it has an open title.

Yeah - it's gonna cost the new owner a few bucks to get going.
Best case on the motor - assuming it only needs new jugs, rings, and pistons and one does
the work oneself - is going to be the thick end of $1500. Add another grand for the rest of
the bike - shocks, tires, fluids and the inevitable little surprises, and the buyer is into it
for at least $2500 plus purchase price. That's the best case assuming no major transmission
or rear end work. Restoring it to as new condition could easily triple or quadruple that figure -
and quite possibly more.

When you do a Guzzi restoration ..... you better not plan on selling it!

well it sold for 2000.

Amazing! I guess I don't have to wash my bikes before auction. :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
