Billy, put up a poll to have everyone cast there vote for how much it will go for!! I say $32,500!

Bidding at $16,100 and reserve not made? I mean damn its a very rare item but it aint the Holy Grail..

**vintagemotorsports** · 10-02-2010, 06:08 PM

as far as ATCs go it is the holy grail , none better in my opinion . look what people spend on other hobbies i have seen guitars go for hundreds of thousands of dollars , why should this be any different 16k is nothing wait till you see what happens when the real bidding begins the big guys wont show until the last minute

There was also a rumored 87 t3 in a crate tohttp://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...7+tecate+crate Look how many 350x crate engines are around. There has to be a 350 in a crate somewhere.

Oh no doubt this aint the last ATC in the create. With the enonomy in the gutter and people hurting for money you will start seeing them pop up. Its definitely a buyers market right now.

Big money whooa!! Wish I had that kind money to spend. But like vintage said the big dawgs will come out the very end. So I think its in for a show at the very end.

Poll added. Feel free to speculate

Good luck Andy !!! I hope it goes well beyond $30,000.00 .

**code200k** · 10-03-2010, 12:10 AM

i will be watching this auction..hey Andy how come you didnt post this up yourself?

**tundrawillie** · 10-03-2010, 07:13 AM

I never thought I'd see one of these for sale on ebay. Reminds me of the movie 'Needful Things'. It bothers me to think what I would actually do to own it. Let alone one of Marty Hart's or Mike Coe's factory race trikes. Thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not covet...

Not sure what you mean?? Do you mean why did I not post it here on 3WW first?? This isn't an auction site and I believe this item really belongs at auction. Maybe not on a simple and questionable eBay auction, but something like Barret Jackson or Christie's! Unfortunately Barret Jackson and Christie's cost way more than $23.50 to

and may not care to handle a three wheeler due to it's inherit possible legal issues. I really should just keep quiet till this pans out, but hope to have no sad or ill feelings with anyone here. Sooner or later all good things come to an end. If this R sells it will be truly missed, but has given me great joy to have owned!

**code200k** · 10-03-2010, 07:33 AM

Andy i didnt mean anything except i wanted to know why you didnt post up that you were selling the trike. good luck with the sale

**Buster Brown** · 10-03-2010, 07:38 AM

Sometimes things are just simpler this way, I knew it would be found out soon enough. No worries!

i know for a fact there are 2 87 tecates in the crates in florida,,,, i have seen them with my own eyes!! i sold a bunch of parts for a early RM370 to a guy back east several years ago,, when the transport company DIRT-N-DUNE PICKED IT UP.. in the trailer there were over 100 motorcycles . the trailer was double stacked,, there in the back corner was 2 87 tecates still in the crates.. i asked if i could take a pict,,, he said it was not possible and there were also 30 rd 350 and 400's from a private collection,, they do exist ,,,
