PLEASE NOTE: THIS AUCTION IS FOR BOTH (2) TWO MACHINES AS IN THE PHOTOS AND THE DESCRIPTION.
THESE SIBLINGS ARE BEING OFFERED TOGETHER FOR THE VERY REASON THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER THEIR ENTIRE LIVES. BOTH WERE BUILT IN FEBRUARY OF 1970 AND BOTH WERE SOLD AND TITLED ON THE SAME DAY AND TIME TO A MATTEL TOYS ENGINEER THAT LATER TOOK THEM FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA WHEN HE RETIRED AND SUBSEQUENTLY BEQUEATHEDTHEM TO HIS DAUGHTER LIVING IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE WHERE IACQUIREDTHEM FOR MY EBAY VINTAGE PARTS BUSINESS.
WHEN I REALIZED THEIR HISTORY I DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART TO PART THEM OUT, O, DECIDED TO SEE IF THEY WOULD RUN. SURE ENOUGH, FTER FRESH BATTERIES AND REPLACEMENT AFTERMARKET AIR BOXES (ORIGINALS WITH BAD RUBBER BOOTS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION) THEY NOW BOTH START EASILY AND RUN WELL.
RED HAS 585 ORIGINAL MILES AND BLUE HAS 911 MILES. (OOPS! THAT IS TODAY'S DATE - STRANGE BUT TRUE!)
I HAVE BEEN OFFERED A DECENT PRICE FOR EACH INDIVIDUALLY, UT, REFER BY FAR (AND EVEN LESS MONEY) TO KEEP THEM TOGETHER. WEIRD, KNOW!
THE RUBY RED ONE HAS A VERY SMALL TEAR ON THE BACK RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT. BOTH HAVE BEENPRELIMINARYCLEANED AND PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS. I PREPPED AND SPRAYED RUST REFORMER ON THE FOOTRESTS OF RED AS WELL.
ALL THE TIRES HOLD AIR AND BARELY SHOW WEAR BUT HAVE SOME CRACKS IN THEM. ONE TIRE HAS A2"CRACK. THE PAINT IS ORIGINAL AND SHOWS SOME SPIDER-WEBBING AND THE CHROME HAS PITTING BUT THE BIKES ARE NOT RUSTY. THE WHEELS HAVE ONLY SLIGHT RUST BUTTHESILVER PAINT HAS BEGUN TO CHIP AND PEEL.
THEY ARE NOT BARN FINDS AND HAVE BEEN GARAGED THEIR ENTIRE LIVES. FLORIDA AND TENNESSEE BOTH ARE HUMID STATES AND I GUESS THAT IS WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN HURT THE MOST.
I AM PLEASED TO ASSIST IN SHIPPING INCLUDING PERSONAL DELIVERY FOR THE GOING RATE WITHIN A 500 MILE RADIUS OF MCMINNVILLE, N 37110, HICH IS MIDWAY BETWEEN NASHVILLE, NOXVILLE, ND CHATTANOOGA.
PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR MAKE ANY COMMENTS. THESE SIBLINGS ARE NOT FOR SALE LOCALLY. I AM PLACING A RESPECTABLE RESERVE ON HERE, UT, ELL WITHIN THE VALUE AS NOTED BY RECENT SOLD AND COMPLETED EBAY LISTINGS.
There are no Titles with these bikes, ut I can provide Notarized Bills of Sale if the Winning Bidder desires, nd, an, or a small fee acquire TN titles, s well. As many people use them in restricted areas where titles and tags are not needed, have opted to not incur the additional costs at this time.
It will be best if the new owner picks up the bike, ut I will work with anyone wanting to send a shipper. I may be willing to assist in finding and securing one, s well.
