    both ... no i'd go with the blue one... just my opinion though.. i haven't seen many in blue... as a matter of fact, never seen any in blue... not in a 70 built like that... BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE

    EDIT: and look for play in the rear ends.. doubt its a problem.. and basically make sure their isn't any engine noise and that the brakes work... all gears too... no clicking.... ohhh and don't forget.. BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE

    the blue ones are more collectable if you are going to ride it then the red.

    Question

    Tuff choice , it will be used for the kid's ... parts would be more easy to get for the red / fender's

    Are these 4 speed or 3 speed ?

    both 4 speeed! go for the blue as it will be worth more in years to come assuming you look after it. if it was me id buy the blue, take off the orig fenders and tank etc and get reproduction stuff. then you can ride it around withour having to worry too much about bustn it.

    funny......... . i think blue ones in good shape are more sought after.red plastic would probably be easier to replace if your not into the collector side off it.

    Definitly buy them both, I would love a blue one! And both look clean. $500 for a solid well cared for runner with title is a fair price around here. I would say if they were equal condition and you could only have one, the blue one for sure, as it is rare compaired to the red ones.

    Should I get the blue one also?!?!....of course you should. Just to say it again, in case the point got lost in the previous posts: Blue is way more unique...but just get em both or youll kick yourself when youve realized what you let get away. You can always sell em to one of us. I sure someone would be more than happy to take it off your hands.
