Hi all, we just joined the forum a few minutes ago. I have been researching online to try and answer my question and came across this lovely website.

My fiance has a 1964 Sportster xlch that we are looking to sell. We have had a hard time finding a good price to ask for. Can anybody help us out?

 

These are just my opinion, and I haven't been shopping iron head sportsters much lately (THANK GOD!).

Depends entirely on condition. Like New, dunno, maybe three thousand, but that's pushing it. Basket case, maybe 1 thousand, maybe less, depending on how bad. "Ran When Parked," well, somewhere inbetween.

eBay the thing and you'll get about what it's worth.

 

Thanks Dr. Hess. I'm not sure of the exact condition but I'll let my fiance know what you said.

 

I would look on ebay to get an idea, problem is you can buy new 883's cheap. I'd tried to buy a 1976 Sporster that was wrecked and the guy though it was worth 4000...he still has it and that was 3 years ago.

 

Do some research, It's a 1964...........old enough to be special and not easy to find. It might be worth way more than 3 grand to a collector if it is all origanal ........883's are a dime a dozen........hell ,they almost grow on trees!

 

If I had the money I'd be interested. I had one 20 years ago. I liked it better than the 79 and the 06 I have now. If in good shape way more than 3k.

 

I look at a lot of old bikes. To me the engine typesall sell around the same amount give or take some for condition/model/year.
Shovels-7-10K
Pans-14K-20K
Knuckles-Priceless(saw one sell on ebay for $50K)

Ironheads:
They seem to always be a good bit less then the shovels.For a 64, which is very old I think it could get a good premium so I might think $5,000-$7,000.
However, People always try to sell the "garage queens" that have been sitting forever and they want to much for a bike that needs reconditioned. If the bike is rideable, starts easy, leaks are managable, and all rubber is good I think you can command a much higher price.
