I call your T3 with a T with parts missing

I like the drool mark on the rear tire (9 o'clock). rear drive leak?

[Gliderjohn]

Going by that I would guess my T-3 is now worth about $15,000. I would take $14,500. Appears to maybe be another "I have been trying to sell it Honey but no takers so far."

The guy probably inherented it and doesn't know the value.

Makes sense. Might explain his apparent belief that the seat and mufflers are original.

[oldbike54]

 Well , it is easier to go down than up  What is this thing really worth , maybe $4K or a bit more ?

He does say "or best offer" in the ad, and there are some good points to the bike, based on looking at the photos. So....

I'm 40 miles away from it, and if someone gets the ball rolling with the guy (there's a phone number) and decides a mutually-acceptable price might be in reach, I can ride up to look at it.

I'd say $4000 or less.

[EDIT: I removed an earlier paragraph speculating about the cylinders. So far as I can tell they may both be new, as he says. Why there is a polished valve cover (and new-seeming intake manifold) on the left side, but not the right, is probably not important.]

I would agree...but no more than $4,000 tops - - $3,500 would be better!

"...maybe engine in parts selling with bike."   

He can't tell if there's an engine in there?

"90% mint"

Is that even a thing? Isn't it mint, or otherwise?

Never heard of "90% mint" - - that's a new one on me!   My experience is that some people are really  funny.... especially when it comes to their own perception of condition of a vehicle. 

I always liked "Barn Fresh"  - - which often really means: "Needs total nut & bolt restoration..."

That's quite a collection of keywords he felt the need to include.

It's also being misrepresented:

"Only the fairing is an add-on.... Every other part is exactly as it was sold...."

The seat is the G5/Convert item, not the slimmer T3, and mufflers are Valteks. I would worry that the hard-to-find deep chrome rim on the headlight is missing.

[father guzzi obrian]

If I had not already sold my Strada with Givi bags, I would be asking $20K

[Two Checks]

A T with knobs...blasphemy.

BTW, weren't Ts only built in 74 & 75?

This one looks really nice.  When did they call them an INTERCEPTOR?

[Turin]

I've seen the T-3 Interceptor badge in adds, and books but never on an actual guzzi. I'd like to know the story on that too.

[Triple Jim]

That last one is really nice looking.  Also it's the first time I've seen brass knuckles made of aluminum.
