  • '64 Vespa Scooter

    SOLD!!!

    I have a '64 Vespa up for sale, obtained on a trade last year. Scooter runs great, fires up quickly, and hauls ass. Here are the specs I was given - I am not really able to confirm or deny what it is exactly, but I can tell you it does run and drive great. I have title to the bike so it'd be a nice clean transaction. I believe (and the PO verified with the person he bought it from) this is a Scooterworks (out of Chicago) rebuild. There's a tag in the glove box with an 11/06 date on it.


    I'm looking for $1700 obo on it.






    Specs:


    1964 Vespa 125 (now kitted with big bore kit)
    180cc big bore kit (according to previous owner - I have no way of proving it other than it hauls ass)
    4 speed manual
    8 inch wheels
    Previous owner replaced a bunch of parts last year, they basically have no miles on them:
    - new cables
    - rebuilt carb
    - new fuel pick up


    I have spare parts for it - pretty much an extra of every cable, a speedo cable, extra taillight, extra engine case, Haynes manual - see pic for extras.


    The bad:
    - Has some dings/scrapes/light surface rust. I actually kind of dig it, gives it patina. I honestly don't consider this a negative
    - Speedo isn't functional. I verified the speedo itself works...there's no cable run to the front hub. Needs cable run and it *should* be good to go.
    - Electrics (ancillary - lights/horn) don't seem to be working. Wiring is there, master switch looks a little old and needs to be cleaned up or replaced. They are <$50 on flebay.

    I know a couple of years ago there was a big scooter event in Ferndale, so I went to find out if there was an organized group. Doesn't look like it, but I did find a number of area scooter groups, maybe if you research these further you could advertise your Vespa directly to them and help make some chic young urban hipster even more cooler than the rest of us.

        Thanks guys.

        FWIW, if you know anyone interested, I'd be willing to work on the price. That OBO is for real, I know a lot of people just slap it on everything. This thing needs to go - I have no use for it and it's just taking up space.
