1970 Ambassador on BaT

[sdcr]

This should be an interesting auction, as the bike has had some restoration, including the cylinders and pistons.

Somebody likes to polish.

That appears to be a nice example in excellent condition...

Now the question is....HOW MUCH WILL IT GO FOR?

My prediction:  $6500-$7500...maybe more!

It’s getting a lot of comments/ questions about the cylinders. Even so, since it’s bat crazy BaT, I’ll guess $8800, + buyer premium.

Again, BaT proves it is THE PLACE to sell one's vintage motorcycle!!

Why do you think it's not an $8000 bike? That was a $4500 bike about 18 years ago when I was looking to buy an Ambo.

You guys buy an Ambo for $2500, pump $5500 in time and parts into it and then complain if someone else does the same and sells for more than $4000.

As someone finishing up an Ambo resto that looks better and is built out much nicer than this one, I am pleased as punch to see it sell over $8k. Im going to be over 9 grand in mine, if I had the guts to total it all up. At least I know if it turns out the Loop lifestyle is not for me... I can sell it and likely go better than break even on it.

Ya that Loop lifestyle of bib overalls and corncob pipes ain't for everyone.

I'm already rocking the overalls, but mostly the Duluth Trading gardner's version.. As for the pipe, when I cruise by people start looking for Pepe Le Pew

What's wrong with paying $8200 plus buyers premium? Nothing if you think you want to, what is that machine like on the inside? Mr. Mullendore has a better one for sale for $6000.00, at least its shiny where it is supposed to be.  DonG

Interestingly, about 80% of the motorcycle auctions on BaT are "No Reserve". That indicates great confidence on the part of sellers.
