Description

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!! I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE FOR THIS BUT EBAY DOES NOT HAVE A SPOT FOR THAT SO I HAD TO CLICK CLEAR!!!!!!This a barn find ducati that we recently came across,I am not a ducati expert but will tell what I know,bike sat for a few years not in a barn but a garage of someone who passed away who was the originalowne, WE DO NOT HAVE A TITLE BUT CAN ASSIST WITH ANY PAPERWORK NEEDED OFNOTARIZED LETTERS ETC FROM PREVIOUS OWNER.a title can be received through a title service for a small fee. the bike is as shown we had just had it washed and took the pictures SO IT WAS WET BUT STILL WILL SHINE UP DECENTLY.I THINK THIS IS A 1979 BUT IT WAS MADE IN JUNE OF 1979 SO IT COULD BE A 1980 AS WELL.I KNOW THE DUCATI BEVEL DRIVES ARE SOUGHT AFTER BUT NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DARMAH OR A 900SD JUST BY LOOKING AT OTHER OLDER DUCS ON EBAY. I have both side covers for it in the triple color and 1 extra one as well.THE MILES ARE 12248 ON THE SPEEDO.THE RIMS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AS WELL AS HUBS,rear tire goes flat after a few hours... it rolls fine andobviously the box on the back was added later,paintdoesn't look like original too me but could be I guess but I think A tricolor ducati would have better paintwork on it,check out the pictures good there is rust in spots and corrosion but it looks to be all there wedidn't try to start it but the motor is filled with oil to the to, ifI try to bump it itdoesn't turn but not sure if motor is locked or no, motor may be held back by the oil it was stored with,not sure. any questions you can call my cell phone any time 973-670-4908 (tom) We are a dealer innorthwest new jersey in the town of lafayette.WE can ship this to you and arrange it or you can pick it up at our shop just auction must be paid in full within 7 days!!WE CAN STORE THIS BIKE FOR UP TO 2 MONTHS FOR FREE IF THAT HELPS WITH YOUR SHIPPING OR PICKING UP.BID WITH CONFIDENCE THOUSANDS OF HAPPY EBAY CUSTOMERS!!
