I got a 88 I picked up in Oct... & it too is a draw dropper...:beer Makes me want to sell, but then I would have to find another low hour replacement. 60 hours seems a bit strong 10 sounds more like it. Doesn't even look like the cases are scuffed......

Well if the resto cost is relative to what he paid for those decals, than he is probably still upside down:confused:

If thats true then he should say so, and if it's a resto he clearly spared no expense in doing it himself or having it done. Either way it's an outstanding example of possibly the finest quad ever made and one that i would, either way love to have in a collection. Hope he gets what it's worth.

2007 yfz450 limited edition, msrp $7449. New kfx450 roughly the same. ltr $7300. Personally i still prefer two strokes and the 328lb weight of the R. Maybe he's not really serious and just wants to get a feeling of what his beloved trx would pull, with a mile high reserve.

Or he may have had a reserve right at $600 thinking it would just reach that? It almost did.

Not many machines 20 years old and original can even look close to that...I actually prefer the look of a ""showroom gloss proper restore"" than slighty used...I think Petesatc told me that later production decals had a different shade of gold....I think?

maybe he'll chime in tomorrow

Yep like Mike.......the rear prolink decal is the wrong blue/gold....
ALso like OC said ....here is a pic of new/old prolink decal... the top is new atc decal you can buy today (with a yellow backing) the bottom is a original batch TRX decal (with green back in old parts bag) as you can see the gold is a different shade..i also got a old small atc prolink decal which is the same gold as the TRX just can't find it at the moment.......
