Pics of barn find xmas atc70(UPDATE)pg.2

[oldtime3wheeler]

Found an ad for an old atc70. Ad said the rare blue one. Emailed to owner and yesterday morning I received 2 pics of a very dirty xmas70. It had been sitting in the guys barn since the early 90's. His niece got it new in 83. The pullstart cord broke and it got 2 flats so it was put into the barn where it just sat.
So this morning I drove 3+ hours each way to save it. The rear fenders are in really good shape. No cracks or chunks missing. The gas tank looks clean inside with only one little dent. The seat pan looks like new. Still has the spark plug tool. The carb actually still has the choke lever and the little cap that goes over the spring.
There is surface rust on alot of it. It needs 3 new tires and the front forks are nent backwards alittle. The motor melted a 2" dia hole through the front fender. Throttle and brake cable barely move.
All in all though its complete and salvagable. The price + gas was a steal for the rear fenders alone.

I posted a link for one of these in the CL / eBay section a few months ago. It was in excellent shape for all of $600 or $800. I wish I had money.

atc350xer I am putting these on my other xmas edition. I have two other oem xmas 70 rear fenders, but both were trimmed. These are really nice.
DasUberKraut I only paid $100 for the whole bike so It was a great deal even with using a full tank of gas.
