Hey, I'm just wonder if it is at all possible for me to buy a 1940's Harley that runs for about $3,000?

 

I purchased a 40's model 45 in the early 60's for $250.00; recently I saw a similar bike, similar condition, going for 20K. Sorry, so was I.

 

NO But good luck lookin[sm=biker2.gif]

 

That's not what I wanted to hear. Oh well, maybe I'll find a junkyard dog, I don't want a bike in good condition I just wanted to be able to drive it down the road and work on it as I get the money.

 

Sabre, okay so tell me you were frozen in a time warp, thawed out and actually believe that what you posted is true. Back in the late 60s and early 70s that would have been possible (I got a 51 pan rat job that was a runner for that price), but today it seems you cant even get a motor that is all together for that amount. Man there was a time when every thread you read talked about 45 flatties for under a grand that were sitting in a barn or some knuckle or pan for two-five that some red neck farmer was trying to unload. But not today, most are restored, in the process of being restored or have ended up as chopper/bobbers. If you can find one for under three, good luck, but I got to think you got to be smokin some really good **** to actually belive it.

 

I'm selling some oldies for my grandpa now and then, and the cheapest one went for was 6500 and none of em run right now. Good luck! The last knuck. went for 11,300 and it hasn't run in 30 years!

 

Where I work a friend of mine has a 38 that is complete and runs for $10,000. I have wanted to go and strike up a deal with him but I don't have the cash. If anyone is serious about wanting to check it out I can get you in contact with him.
