    Approx value of a 1978 Honda 70 atc

    Do not have pics... going to look at it today! Guy says it runs but "needs the carb rebuilt" he is asking $225.00!
    I was just curious what it might be worth or at least a ballpark figure if it is not just a pile of sh@t.
    I know pics would help but the guy doesn't have any!
    Thanks in advance.

    They are not quite as popular as the 85 atc70s. They are not near as collectable as the 73 or 74 atc70s. They were the first of the return of the atc70s though. Definitley worth the 225 unless it is a pile. Parts are still obtainable and you can get fenders through maier or the new fiberglass repro fenders. I want to say they are 3 speed transmissions, but I can't swear to it. Worth no more than $500 unless it is ablsolutely cherry which I doubt it is. Good luck going to see it. Either way, 70s are fun. And you always have the lifan engine option.

    I've had a few 70's. They are a blast for around the yard. For $225 if its in good shape, buy it.

    Atc 90,s are somewhat rare.
    Any year of them.
    If it runs and looks decent grab it up.Be prepared for the seat to be in bad shape.Most of them are. They are a 3 speed hi- lo range trans.Swicth between hi gear and low gear.You get 3 shifts in each range.
    They are workers. We use ours to drag trees around the property.It does good.
    You see a ton of 70,s and 110,s but not many 90's.
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    Well worth 225.00 if all is there. Check basics such as fender cracks, pull start problems, tires , grab bar etc..... Watch for bent frame as the 70 triple forks were stronger than the frame along gastank. Fender will be marked up where it rubs engine nut. Check rust in tank as well, this can be a pain in the arssss.... 300.00 all day long. Carb kits are cheap and easy to install. Good luck, hope ya get it. You will feel like a kid again
