I like doing puzzles, but!!!

I went to look at a military Jeep once that was in a similar state of confusion. I passed.

Looks like a "fun" project. But, it can't be a '56 if it's an Astore, since '53 was the last year for that model. Looks like a "bitsa" to me - the front fender is from a Falcone.

What does a fully restored Astore go for these days?

My guess is that most of the parts are worn out and some of the key parts may be very, very hard to find. If the asking price was half what it is I may be tempted.

Or one could pay $7000 US for this restored 1952 Airone 250

http://www.italianvintagemotors.com/1953-moto-guzzi-airone-250-sport-totally-restored/

Any one ever dealt with this company in Italy??

They also have a 1976 Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport hat has been on Ebay for a long time

I would like to know if anyone has had a good experience with this seller and could vouch for them
