4 Wheels? Huh?
I thought all the great little barn finds from Michigan from the past few years had dried up..
But then this little gem showed up on CL for $650..I called the guy and offered him asking price if he'd pull the add and wait til this morning for me to come and get it.
A great little all original machine right down to the tires..they are still out there!!

Good work Doug! Looks all original. Wonder how long the ad was up for? I'm sure it wasn't long at that price. How far did you have to drive to get it? You gonna keep it or flip it?

The seller put the add up last week..no pics. I thought about called but never got around to it. He reposted yesterday morning with pics..the calls started rolling in but I told him I'd pay asking and 100% guarantee to show. He took me on faith..since so many CL responder play games I was surprised!Originally Posted by Big G
It was only about an hour from me with border crossing times..
Keep or flip..ah this is the question??
I've seen too many clean ones like this go thru my hands over the years for profit to cover my toy hobby..problem is the clean ones are getting rare and the prices have increased dramatically in the last couple years..I think it's time to hold em if you got em I think!
Now according to my wife it's a flip..but it may just shuffle quietly to the back of the herd for a couple months til she forgets about it!!

Nice Doug! There is one down by me that I have been contemplating. So keep or flip?

Very nice! I would keep it. We all have machines we regret selling and that trike would be one for sure and at that price that is simply a wise investment.

Lord of the trike
Very nice! Might as well keep it. If it were around here the ute trikes don't seem to ever sell for more than what you paid, even in great condition. Seems nobody wants trikes besides 70s, 350x or liquid 250R

This is great to see Doug!! Awesome score. Put her away lol. I wouldn't sell that for a dime less than $1500. She's a real beauty and harder to find everyday. What are the chances of selling it to someone who will appreciate and love it the way it should be? And as much as I hate to say this,we know it's true. As I Am NOT one of those guys who says,,he paid me cash,,I don't CARE what he does with it... I DO care what they do with them!! Wish we were closer.. Except you would get half my pickens lol !
Please help those who cannot help themselves.
ALWAYS buying Museum quality machines,3 and 4 wheels. And any and ALL ,NOS parts,EVERY brand.
I am turning my PM's Off,my Email is billsracing@hotmail.com,put 3WW in the subject. Thanx!

Looks like a nice original 85. Wish I had my hands on them OEM tires. That's a awesome price too in my books.

The seller was telling me that it came from a friends pole barn where it had been kept for many years..I told him I'd be taking it home and putting it back 'in the barn' so to speak.
He was quite surprised..most people showing up to grab these gems are running home and jumping on them and riding them like they just don't care!!
Too bad we aren't closer together Billy, I'd love to meet you and see your little piece of heaven(and your collection)..but we'd definitely have to set boundaries or we'd drive the local prices up from the competitive buying!! Sellers love when two people are circling the same spoils, makes their mouth water!
Well 84 actually, but same machine..just different tank stickers as far as I know.

I think one big difference between the 84 & 85 is the shift pattern. Other than that I believe the differences are fairly subtle. By the way....Nice score

nice find. The real problem i see here is when you told your wife you only paid $200 for it....when your gone 6ft under she is only going to sell it for what you told her you paid for it. lol Ive got all kinds of toys that im gonna have to come clean with now that im over 50.....i could go at any time. Maybe a little black book that she would find after im gone with real values on all my stuff eh. lol

WOW!!! That thing is NICE!!. My son and I got nostalgic for our old 200S after seeing those pics. Those are very underrated machines and we rode ours through some crazy stuff and it would shoot up a near vertical creek back five feet high with nothing more than body english and some extra thumb throttlage
