Whats wrong with the colour?....lol

 

 

I'm partial to baby blue trucks. My dad owned 3 of them. My first truck was solid baby blue.

Ya, I get its not for everybody. Personally, I can't see why guys get all excited over green or brown trucks.

The two tone breaks it up and looks better to me than just all baby blue👍. All personally preference it just wouldn’t be my first choice  (I chose highland green for my old truck when I redid it 🫣 😂)

 

This Bronco goes through on Monday. It’s everything I want except I’d prefer a red interior with high backs instead of the lows. But I could make do.

Last sport bike I had was a Yamaha FJ1200.

Friend had a GSX can't remember the size or year but it had a dry clutch.

Oh I remember the FJ....another good bike for that era...

yeah not sure what year they had a dry clutch available. I think it might have been an option.   

A similar pic of the 86 GSxr I had.....same color combo.  Rode it all the time and put some serious mileage on it quickly.   But after 2 crashes (plastic cowl parts are not cheap ).....the 2nd one my body hitting a tree after doing a wheelie into a turn and not getting front wheel down in time. Was able to push bike from hitting  tree and prevented a lot of damage to bike. But Fractured a vertabre in my back.......it was time to sell before I killed myself.    Young and the feeling of immortality was not a good combo      I remember doing a top speed run and hitting 155mph on speedo and missing my highway exit from the speed ...good times but lucky to still be alive.

The 500's have move value for sure but I think 10 ish as a starting point is reasonable.

There are simply so few of them left that there is no market to get a reading from

Nobody is selling those bikes anymore and if they do it's already been spoken for. LoL

I have a TZR250 same era and I would like to think it's worth all of 10K, I think that is a bit overly optimistic. I got it about 10 years ago for $3400. I know everything has gone crazy with pricing but I havent seen any for sale for quite some time so no recent data. 

If it had less than a 1K miles and was otherwise 100% show room condition to the right buyer maybe 10K.

I think 8k is the upper limit for a running 7 to 8 out of 10 condition bike.

I sure hope I'm wrong and it's a 10K all day sale  

 

I don’t think that’s a bad price on the Bronco. Reserve was $50k but was lifted to make the sale at $46k. I’d probably pay that but not without seeing it in person like that video about covers. I was there last year and some of the trucks I looked at looked way better on TV than up close.

The price shown includes the buyers premium.

The black and cream 2 tone always looked great !

Here's a kit car built from Popular Mechanics kit in the 50's. It's been in the same extend family that I've known for over 60 years since it was built. The car is know as the Pink car as it was supposed to be purple but the paint was not mixed right.

It was built from Ford Model B parts and has a flathead ford V-8. Got it back on the road awhile back and took it to back in the 50's Had more interest in that than some beautiful cars over 100K. Also had offers to buy it.

To much family history and NFS
