V7 sport price

[BRIO]

Found an $3500 V7 sport from 73. Looks like it needs some love. What do these thing go for in roughish shape?

[ritratto]

I'd say jump on it! I'll never happen again.

[Aaron D.]

Goodness. A great one is for sale at $17,500, do not hesitate if it is complete.

[BRIO]

Thanks!

Step carefully.   People have been making Mustangs into GTs, Tempests into GTOs, Cutlasses into 4-4-2s, 340 Barracudas into Hemi Cudas, and Eldos into V7 Sports for a long time, there's big money in it.   I know you've said in the recent past that you're a "Guzzi Newbie", although maybe you've been around and have done the research, but "too good to be true" is always "false".

Good luck!   Hope it's really a complete V7 Sport!   If it's all there and all genuine, it'll be worth it .....

So if a nice one is $16k would a restoration project be around 7-8 normally?

Hey Lannis,  you are right on the point about all the cheats out there building knock offs but if you really ever run across guy that can actually turn a loop into a tonti bike please send me his resume. That would be one trick I haven't seen yet .

Hmmm ... I'm not as worried about my T3/Eldo faux pas as I am about why you would want the guy's resume?   A new profit center being planned .... "Stash of NOS V7 Sports Discovered in Texas Warehouse" .... ?

No  but  someone with magical talent like that would be one of a kind.

There's lots of people that can turn an old 850T into a fake  V7 sport  but one that can do it from an old
Ambo would be a good magician.   Although we do have a lot of loop frame bikes  in-house

Down boy!!!!
Brio, get the numbers from the case and frame. You're looking for a "VK" prefix!

[dsrdave]

As Joes says check the numbers !!!!  Then, if you don't want it let e know, I'll buy it and pay you a finders fee.  Thx, Dave.

A full "restoration" not a revitalization and/or resurrection if you do al lot of the wrenching yourself budget an additional $10,000 to $12,000. If you have a shop do it turnkey budget $15,000 to $20,000+ depending on who does your work. This is for a true nut and bolt restoration.

To get it road worthy and the lower end of the motor, transmission and rear drive are usable you turning wrenches budget an additional $5,000 for parts and components and weekends throughout the winter. If motor or drive train work is needed get out you wallet.

While it sounds like a great deal at $3,500 it isn't all puppies and kittens if you want to get it back in order. Restorations are only profitable for the shop doing the restoration not the end user. Resurrections are usually good for getting close to what you have in the bike if you sell it. 

If your not handy with a wrench you are better off buying the bike for $3,500 and flipping for a 1 to 2K profit depending on condition and if it truly is a V7 Sport.

It takes a special breed to go head 1st into a restoration knowing all the while you're doing it for love of the motorcycle, car, boat house.... not cost!

AMEN to that!

$10 K will disappear into a V7 Sport in an instant. If you are doing it to make money invest in the S&P 500.

And I have to add, if you really want a V7 Sport in as new condition, save some time and money and buy Canuck's...
