1980 Bajaj Chetak for sale in Oklahoma City Oklahoma for $1,300

A few more good finds but not too much out there this week.

2011-02-09T10:22:00.000-08:00

1958 Vespa GS 150 project for $2,800 in Denver, Colorado
This isn't a huge deal or anything but it is a fair price and these rarely come up for sale in this condition. These are not for the novice and I would recommend that if you're looking for a first scooter this is not the project for you. That being said here's the link and the photos. http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/2204589607.html

1964 Vespa 90 for $1,100 in Boston, Massachusetts
I'd say this is an okay price for a running Vespa 90 but it's not a great price. I've bought a few of these in better condition for $500 to $850 but if you could get this one for $900 it'd be a good deal. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mcy/2203986109.html

1959 Silver Pigeon C-75 for $800 in Richmond, Virginia
Here's an oddball scooter you don't see every day. I'm not too familiar with the Silver Pigeons but I've always liked they way they look even if they are considered to be more of an "old mans" scooter. This one looks to be in pretty good shape cosmetically. The ad does say it's missing a few parts but I'm sure if you looked around you'd find them. Here's the link and the photos. http://richmond.craigslist.org/mcy/2188574189.html

1965 VNA/VNB Vespa 125 for $1,200 in Dallas, Texas
Here's a good deal on a nice looking scoot. It's a VNA or a VNB not sure which. Everything looks to be correct on this scooter from what I can tell. I'd say this is a pretty good deal for this scooter. Here's the link and the photos. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/2204806444.html

1966 Allstate Blue Badge 125 for $850 in Glendale, Indiana

2011-01-27T19:28:00.000-08:00

This is a 1966 Vespa/Allstate 125 Blue Badge. At first I thought it was a Primavera. I'd say it's a fair price for a running smallie in this condition. Here's the link and the photo. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/2181703482.html

The 1963 Vespa 90

2011-01-25T06:56:00.000-08:00

Well recently a nice guy named Pete stumbled upon my blog and contacted me about a 1963 Vespa 90 he was selling in NY. I remembered that a blog reader and friend Elena had been wanting a Vespa for a long time, and also lived in New York. I contacted her and passed on the details. She went and picked up the scooter this past Sunday and I'm sure she'll be very happy with her new scooter project. I love the paint job on this thing even if it looks like it was done poorly. It'd be cool to have it done the same way but professionally. Not a bad find and a very fair price at $250. Thanks Pete! Good luck, Elena!

Here we go! First post in months!

1979 P125X for $875 in Mendocino, California

1966 Vespa Blue Badge small frame barn find for $950 obo in Atlanta, Georgia
I'd say the price on this on is a little steep considering the shape it's in but it's still worth checking out if you like smallies. Here's the link and the photo. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/mcy/2163546178.html

1964 Sears Allstate 125cc for $600 in Kirtland, Ohio

1964 Vespa VNB for $1,200 in St. Paul, Minnesota

A long time coming!!!

2011-01-22T22:54:00.000-08:00

Okay, I know I have not been updating this blog as regularly as I used to but I should be able to keep up with the original post a week again. I've been busy with the new project but I wanted to give an update. I recently picked up my Dad's old 1959 Lambretta LD 125 over the summer. My cousin and I are in the process of restoring it to it's former glory.

It all started about 19 years ago when I was 15 years old. My dad passed away when I was 2 years old so when I was growing up my Mom always made a point to break out the photo albums and tell me about my Dad. The stories always seemed to include my Dad's Lambretta. She told me how he first saw the scooter when he was stationed in Germany while in the Army and that he bought one and had it shipped back to the U.S. My mom told me how when they were dating he would pick her up on it and they'd drive out to the country, to a local jazz club, or just cruise around the UC campus.

When I was 15 I asked for a scooter for my birthday. Her friend had a Vespa 90 sitting in her garage and offered it up for $50. It was the best present I ever got. I rode that thing into the ground! Through the years I've owned a few scooters and I always wondered what happened to my Dad's old LD. My mother never kept in contact with my Dad's side of the family and never encouraged me to contact them either. Well, 6 years ago my Mom passed away and left a void in my life that will never be completely filled. My Dad's side of the family came to the funeral and we re-connected after 29 years of separation. Every time I opened the old family photo albums there was the Lambretta staring me in the face with my Dad and various family members sitting on it. After a year of obsessing over it I asked my Cousin if she knew what ever happened to the old scooter. She told me she was supposed to have gotten it when she turned 16, but never did. She also told me it was still sitting in the basement of one of the many dilapidated houses my Uncle owned. I immediately called my Uncle to inquire. He told me he sold it to some guy a few years ago for $65. He said the guy fixes and rides scooters and is in a local scooter club. I was crushed but I couldn't give up. I posted the story on the Lambretta club website and a local site. After a day my clubmate told me he knew who had it! He posted a picture of it on the local site. It all fit together, the price, the location, everything! He also told me that they re-sold it to Ed of Vespa Cincinnati and gave me his number. I called and talked to Ed and he agreed to sell it back to me . I was so excited! I told him I would buy it in 2 weeks, but when the time came unfortunately something came up and I didn't have the money. I tried calling back a few weeks later and was told that he already sold it to someone in Oklahoma. I was crushed, again. Unfortunately Ed passed away a week later of a stroke. I thought the story would end there but again the LD comes back into my life. Ed's daughter had been searching her fathers name on google and stumbled onto my post on the Lambretta Club website. She emailed me and we later spoke on the phone. She guaranteed me that the scooter would end up in my possession once her father's estate was settled. She kept her word and made me a very happy man. My Cousin and I picked up the scooter this past summer and have been working to get it back on the road. I am almost positive that every time my Cousin and I work on the scooter my Mom and Dad are looking down on us smiling.

Here's a few photos of the Lambretta with my Dad, Cousins, and me.

Lambretta Silver Special up for auction July 19th in Enid, Oklahoma

2010-07-13T22:06:00.000-07:00

Okay, here's a rare scooter. It's a Lambretta Silver Special or at least that's what the auctioneer says it is. These only came in Silver as far as I'm aware so I'm guessing someone painted this thing years ago. It looks like the red paint could be easily removed without damaging the silver paint too much. This could go for really cheap based on the location of the auction. If anyone is in the Oklahoma area go snatch this up! Here's the link and the photos. Ignore the Spree. http://www.lippardauctions.com/GERBRANDT-CONSTRUCTION-a139650.php

2010-07-12T23:58:00.000-07:00

This is a great deal! 2 very nice not your everyday scooters for a hell of a price. That T5 alone should fetch at the very least $2,000. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/1836392339.html

1964 Vespa GS160 for $1,950 in Indianapolis, Indiana!!!

2010-07-12T23:53:00.000-07:00

Not sure if this thing is legitimate but it's definitely worth checking out at this price. I'm pretty sure that paint is NOT original. As well as the trim being wrong on the leg shield but I could be wrong there. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1839230205.html

2003 Stella for $1,000 in Tampa Bay, Florida

2010-07-12T23:48:00.001-07:00

2 1968 Allstates for $1,800 in Dallas, Texas

2010-07-12T23:46:00.000-07:00

Good deal here! 2 Allstates for a very reasonable price. Keep one and sell the other for close to what you paid for both. Here's the link and the photos. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/1819162688.html

1964 Vespa VBB in original condition for $2,500 o.b.o. in Walnut Creek, California!

2010-07-12T23:14:00.000-07:00

Okay, so the seller of this little gem emailed me and asked me to post it on here. He thinks it's not a great deal but a fair one. I disagree, I think it's a pretty damn good deal for a running VBB with original paint. Especially since it's on the west coast where scoots like this go for allot more. Anyways, it's on E-bay and it looks pretty damn good. So, here's the link and a picture. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1964-Vespa-150-Original-Condition-Scooter-/260633408739?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Scooters_Mopeds&hash=item3caef634e3#ht_1425wt_909

I'm back!

2010-07-12T23:06:00.000-07:00

Okay, okay, I apologize for not making any posts recently. My work schedule has changed and I've had no time to do anything! I will now officially say I will update this blog twice a month until things slow down at work and I have spare time to keep this up. I hope all my readers haven't totally abandoned my blog. Anyways, check back soon and I will have some good finds up.

Thanks,

2010-06-04T21:31:00.000-07:00

Here's a Vespa VBB for $500 that runs but needs work but for $500 you can't really complain unless it's a total bodge. This is a damn good buy. Hard to tell the condition it's in from the photo but for $500 who cares? Here's the link and the crappy photo. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/1775816364.html

1979 Vespa P125E for $900 in Phoenix, Arizona

1982 Vespa PX125E for $1,100 in Atlanta, Georgia

2010-06-04T21:23:00.000-07:00

This is a steal. Go get it or I will call my cousin and have him go get it for me. That's a threat! Seriously this is a really good buy and I would love to have this scooter but the logistics of actually getting it are not in my favor. Here's the link and the photos. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/mcy/1775815136.html

1978 Vespa Primavera for $895 in Tampa Bay, Florida

2010-06-04T21:18:00.000-07:00

Smallframe Vespa with VBB cowls and it's kitted for $800 in Salt Lake City, Utah

2010-06-04T21:13:00.000-07:00

1981 P125X for $300 in St. Louis, Missouri

2010-06-04T21:09:00.000-07:00

Okay I don't know what the hell is going on out there in the world but everyone seems to be finding Vespa P-series scoots and selling them ridiculously cheap this week! Here's one in St. Louis that will make a nice project for a measly three hundred bucks. Go get it! Now! http://stlouis.craigslist.org/mcy/1774608142.html

P200E for $800 in San Francisco, California

2010-06-03T20:41:00.000-07:00

2010-06-03T20:37:00.000-07:00

Here's another steal of a P-series scoot! Someone go get it now! Sounds like it just needs a few more hours of work to be a great scooter. Here's the link and the photos. http://littlerock.craigslist.org/mcy/1773095900.html

Vespa P150X for $400 in Macon, Georgia

2010-06-02T21:34:00.000-07:00

This is a damn steal! A 1980 P200 for $800!!! You could probably have this thing running in a few days with very little work and have a scooter worth $2,500. I wish this was near me! Someone go snatch this up! Here's the link and the photos. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/1772543873.html

Vespa 90 project for $750 in Pittsburgh, PA

2010-06-02T21:30:00.000-07:00

This thing is probably not worth the $750 they're asking but if you got it for $500 I'd say you got a deal. This one has been listed for awhile so I'd say that they're pretty firm on the price but you never know until you ask. Here's the link and the photo. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/1713173297.html

1980 Vespa Sport 100 for $1,500 Baton Rouge, Louisiana

2010-06-02T21:26:00.000-07:00

Here's a really nice looking Vespa Sport 100 for a good price. The paint looks to be original and in great condition. I'd say this thing is well worth the $1,500 they're asking. Here's the link and the photos. http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/mcy/1751407260.html

1956 Vespa Ape for $1,800 in Temecula, California

2010-06-02T21:21:00.000-07:00

Here's an extremely rare Vespa Ape for a fair price. These things are seriously hard to find and this one doesn't look too bad. If you're into rare scoots and are looking for a nice piece for your collection this is it! This would not be suitable for a beginner as parts for these are extremely hard to find. A damn cool scoot though. Here's the link and the photo. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/mcy/1772516881.html

1974 Vespa Primavera project for $1,200 in Denver, Colorado

2010-06-02T21:17:00.000-07:00

Here's a nice little smallframe project. The Primavera is probably the most desirable smallframe other than a SS90. Nice little scoot for a fair price depending on how much of a project it is. Definitely worth checking out. Here's the link and the photos. http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/1771713842.html

1991 Vespa Cosa that has allot of upgrades for $1,300 in Dayton, Ohio

2010-05-30T10:53:00.000-07:00

Damn this thing is ugly! It is cool though just because it's so damn hideous and you just don't see the Cosa over here in the U.S. very often. This is however a smokin' deal on a rare Vespa. There's one of these right now on craigslist for $3,000 with no upgrades. Here's the link and the photos. http://dayton.craigslist.org/mcy/1736794886.html

1960 Series II Lambretta Li125 for $900 and a Vespa P200e for $1,700 in San Diego, California

2010-05-30T10:46:00.000-07:00

I'd say both of these are good deals. The P200e is a smokin' deal for sure! Here's the link and the photos. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/mcy/1765826995.html

1960's rare Lambretta MS Pasco 150 for $500 or best offer in Boca Raton, Florida

2010-05-30T10:42:00.000-07:00

This is one rare bird. The Lambretta MS Pasco 150 was made in Brazil by Lambretta in the 1970's I believe but I could be wrong. This will probably be hard to find parts for but it is sweet looking! I'd say for $500 this is a damn steal! Here's the link and some photos. http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/mcy/1763105301.html

1974 Vespa Super for $1,200 in Minneapolis, Minnesota

2010-05-30T10:32:00.000-07:00

I love the Super! This is the more rare color and you just don't see it too often. It looks great in my opinion and this is a damn good price for this scooter. Here's the link and the photos. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/mcy/1765975559.html

Lambretta Li150 up for auction in Manheim, Pennsylvania on May 29th

2010-05-18T19:34:00.000-07:00

The auction listing says this is a 1958 Lambretta but that is definitely not right since this is a Lambretta LI 150 Series III from what I can tell. The Series III was made from 1961-1967 Anyways, it might go cheap. Here's the link and the photos. http://www.hess-auction.com/auction_details.php?id=631

1961 Vespa for auction in Cookeville, Tennessee on June 5th

2010-05-18T19:05:00.000-07:00

Silver Pigeon for $800 in Akron, Ohio

2010-05-06T09:59:00.000-07:00

Here's a running Silver Pigeon for $800 in Akron, Ohio. These are kind of odd ball scooters but I think they're kind of cool. Here's the link and the photos. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/bar/1724629385.html

Sorry, everyone! Here's a 1980 Bajaj Chetak for $500 in Maryville, Tennessee

2010-05-06T06:01:00.000-07:00

Sorry, but for now I'll only be updating this every few weeks or so. I will start re-posting weekly when things slow down at work but for right now I just don't have the time to update this thing as often.

Here's a good deal on a 1980 Bajaj for $500 in Maryville, Tennessee. Here's the link http://knoxville.craigslist.org/for/1726491580.html

Fuji Rabbit 90cc scooter S-202A for $500 in Boston, Mass.

2010-04-20T06:35:00.000-07:00

Here's one you don't see everyday. It's a 1960's Fuji Rabbit small frame. I'm pretty sure I posted 2 of these that came up for sale in California somewhere. This one looks to be in good condition and would be a fun project for someone looking for an oddball scooter. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/mcy/1699441149.html

1957 VL1T? 150 for $950 in Detroit, Michigan

2010-04-19T20:11:00.000-07:00

1957 Vespa VL1T for $950. I guess this is the Allstate version of the Vespa VL1T or VB1T. These things are cool looking but probably not the best buy for someone looking for a first scooter. They are not suitable for daily driving and you'd have a hard time keeping up with traffic for sure. Still, it is a nice looking scoot for a very good price. Here's the pictures and the link. http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/mcy/1699690836.html

1981 PX125E for $1,350 in Seattle, Washington

2010-04-18T22:00:00.000-07:00

This is a steal! 1981 Vespa PX125E that doesn't look too bad. I've definitely seen worse go for allot more. Great daily rider starter scoot for someone. Here's the link and photos. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/1698278686.html

1972 Vespa 125cc for $1,200 in Indianapolis, Indiana

2010-04-18T21:53:00.000-07:00

I'm pretty sure this is a Vespa Super 125cc VNC1T but I could be wrong. It's probably a 150cc Sprint and the owner just listed it accidentally as 125cc. There's a few things in the photo that have me thrown off. The engine side cowl looks like it has 5 louvers which would point to a Super being that the Sprint had 6 louvers. The headset has me thrown off too since it looks like it came off a small frame which could be accurate for either model. The earlier Supers had gray hand-grips but I don't think '72 is really early for the Super since it was made from 65-76. The Sprint also had gray hand-grips but not the Sprint Veloce. If you know what this is, let me know before I lose sleep over it. Here's the link and the photo. Whatever the hell it is, it looks to be in great original condition. I'd say it's worth checking out. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1697877489.html

1980 Vespa Sport 100 for $1,200 in Santa Fe, New Mexico

2010-04-17T18:15:00.000-07:00

This little small frame Vespa Sport 100 looks to be in excellent condition though it is hard to tell from the small photos. I'd be willing to bet the paint is good and it has all 4 turn signals which you don't see often. I'd say it's worth at least $1,500 so $1,200 for this is a damn good price. I know some people would disagree with me there since small frames are not as desirable but you don't see too many of the Sport 100's around and certainly not in this condition. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://santafe.craigslist.org/mcy/1696758220.html

2010-04-17T17:02:00.000-07:00

Here's a Vespa P200 for a very fair price. It is missing the carburetor which is not a big deal. This will make a nice project for someone who wants a daily rider. Here's the link and the photo. http://olympic.craigslist.org/mcy/1695233762.html

1971 Vespa Super for $750 in Odessa, Texas

2010-04-17T16:54:00.000-07:00

Here's a project Vespa Super. I'd say it's a fair price for the state it's in. I probably wouldn't pay more than $500 for it but I'm cheap. It sounds like it's complete for the most part. Here's the link and the photos. http://odessa.craigslist.org/mcy/1694725110.html

1964 Allstate for $150 in Dallas, Texas

2010-04-17T16:47:00.000-07:00

Who knows what's all there on this thing. I'm assuming the motor is missing. This is still a good price since there's probably over $150 in parts there. This would make a good parts bike at best I think. Here's the link and the photo. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/1694174495.html

1977-1981 Vespa P125X for $500 in Houston, Texas

Here's a damn good deal on a project Vespa P125X. Parts for these are readily available. It looks a little rough but it's got character. I'd say at $500 this is a damn steal! Here's the link and the photos. http://houston.craigslist.org/mcy/1694092080.html

1965 Lambretta, Cento for $900 in Dallas, Texas

2010-04-17T16:34:00.000-07:00

Here's a nice looking Lambretta Cento project. The price is a little high for a Cento but if you could get it for $600 I'd say you paid a fair price. This things are rare but not very desirable to most. Personally, I like the little bastards. Here's the link and photo. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/1696655393.html

1957 VNB or VNA for $600 in Knoxville, Tennesee

2010-04-17T16:27:00.000-07:00

I've listed this one before but it's back up for sale for $300 less than it was previously listed for. I'd say this is a damn good buy now. The ad says it's complete. This would make a great project for someone. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/1697242695.html

Great deal here on a running Vespa 90 that looks pretty damn good. I'd say this is a damn good price for this scooter. The paint looks really good. The engine side door is actually there for once! Someone should go snatch this up and kit it. Here's the link and the photo. http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/mcy/1686105599.html

1962 Lambretta LI 125 Series III for $1,200 in Denver, Colorado

2010-04-07T20:05:00.000-07:00

Here's a nice looking Lambretta Li 125 for a very good price! The ad says it runs great but has some minor electrical problems. Still, for $1,200 it's well worth it. The paint looks original but I could be wrong. Definitely worth checking out. Here's the link and the photos. http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/1681350126.html

All original 1973 Rally 180 on Ebay in Warrenton, Virginia

2010-04-07T19:10:00.000-07:00

I usually don't post listings on ebay because thins seem to go for an exorbitant amount of money and this blog is dedicated to finding good deals. I doubt anyone will steal this scooter for less than $1,000 but it may happen. This thing does look great and I bet it would not take much to get back on the road. It only has 4,330 original miles! Anyways, here's the link and one photo. There are more photos on the listing but I don't feel like posting them all here and it's a pain in the butt to steal 'em off ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300415461664#v4-34

1974 Vespa Super at auction in Cedar Falls, Iowa on Wednesday April 14th.

2010-04-07T18:25:00.000-07:00

Here's a nice looking all original Vespa Super that's coming up for auction. Who knows you might steal this for $100. It's hard to tell what a scooter will go for at auction especially in rural areas. The auctioneer estimates it will sell between $600-$900 which would be good. Usually it's less than they're worth though. Anyways, here's the link and the photo. There's another link for the auction also but it doesn't have the Vespa listed on it yet but I'll go ahead and post it also. http://waterloo.craigslist.org/mcy/1679273970.html

1976 Sprint Veloce for $1,000 in Cincinnati, Ohio

2010-04-06T20:53:00.000-07:00

Okay, I figured I'd list this since I wasted this guys time and I feel bad for doing so. I had planned on buying this but it's just not worth it for me personally. The price he has on the ad is just something his wife threw out there. I talked him down to $1,000. I went and looked at the scooter and here's what I can tell you about it. It's actually a '76. It runs but I have not heard it run. I will say it has some issues. The tank is a little rusty and will need to be replaced but not because of the rust. It's been jimmy rigged with a weird shut off valve with the original petcock being gone but no cutting of the frame or anything just some welding to the tank. It's missing the Sprint V. badge on the rear. It definitely needs a carb cleaning/rebuild. The front brake lever is broken on the end. The tires need to be replaced as they are original. The speedometer is broken. The body has been touched up with spray paint. According to the owner it's been laid down a few times but the frame is not cracked and everything else is pretty straight upon my inspection. The front fender crest is also missing. I'd say it'd make a good candidate for restoration if you have the $ to put into it. I'd say $1,000 for this scooter is near fair as far as the price goes. Here's the link and some photos. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mcy/1663016947.html

195? Lambretta LD up for auction in Manhattan, Kansas on Monday April 19th

2010-04-06T20:35:00.000-07:00

Okay here's a rough looking Lambretta LD but I've seen worse. It's coming up for auction on April 19th, 2010. This is listed as a Cushman on the website and it is obviously not a Cushman. This may go for a good price since it's in the Mid-West, the seller doesn't know what it is, the auctioneer doesn't know what it is, and it's in rough condition but hell it might be complete and make a great parts bike for someone. You could end up with it for $50. You just never know at these kind of auctions. I bought a 99% complete Vespa Sport 100 last year for $100 and it was listed as a Plaggio on the site so no one else found it and I was the only interested party in attendance. Anyways, here's the link and the photo. http://gannonauctions.com/2010/04/19.php

1964 Vespa 90 for $999 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

2010-04-03T18:05:00.000-07:00

Here's a running Vespa 90 for a fair price. It's not a huge deal but the price is fair for it's current condition which I'd say is drivable but fair to rough condition. I would say this would be a nice one to ride while you can and then fix it up over the winter. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/1673077405.html

Here's a nice looking project smallie for someone. I like the Vespa Primavera, it's one of my favorite small frame scooters as far as looks go. I'd say this is a fair price for this project. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://knoxville.craigslist.org/mcy/1670690680.html

1964 Vespa 90 for $500 in Bakersfield, California

2010-03-30T19:15:00.000-07:00

Here's a Vespa 90 basketcase for $500. If you know Vespa's then you know this is a fair price for a Vespa 90 and could be an easy fix. It won't be worth too much more than $1,000 after you're done but it still might be a fun project. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/mcy/1666178569.html

1978 Vespa P200E for $1,200 in Fresno, California

2010-03-30T19:10:00.000-07:00

Here's a great deal on a running Vespa P200 that cosmetically looks very rough. This would make a great first scoot for someone. You wouldn't have to worry about dropping it and messing up the paint. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://fresno.craigslist.org/mcy/1669057384.html

1974 Vespa Rally 200 for $1,100 in Cincinnati, Ohio

2010-03-30T19:03:00.000-07:00

Here's a nice project Rally 200 at what I think is a very fair price. I would definitely re-paint it. I'd jump on this myself if it's truly what the ad says it is and I had the money to spare. The ad says it's 99% complete. It's definitely worth checking out at this price. Here's the link and the photo. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mcy/1669389440.html

1950's Vespa VB1? make offer in Mobile, Alabama

2010-03-30T18:54:00.000-07:00

Here's what I believe to be an old VB1 but I could be wrong there. I'm actually going to go look at a VB1 this weekend. This might be a good parts bike for someone. It does look pretty rough. I probably wouldn't pay more than $100 bucks for it. Anyways here's the link and the photo. http://mobile.craigslist.org/mcy/1668924116.html

Vespa P200 for $1,200 in Phoenix, Arizona

2010-03-28T16:21:00.000-07:00

$1,200 for a running P200! This is a steal. Most of the P200's listed right now are selling upwards of $2,000. Someone should definitely pick this up. I doubt it will be for sale for very long. Here's the link and the photos. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mcy/1665765619.html

Vespa P 150 with a 166 kit for $1,500 in Austin, Texas

1981 Black Vespa P150 with a Malossi 166 kit and a 24/24 carb and a Sito plus. The ad says it still needs to be jetted properly. I'd bet this thing screams. Definitely a good buy. Here's the link and the photo. http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/1665407591.html

2 Vespa smallies for $1,200 in Los Angeles, California

2010-03-28T16:09:00.000-07:00

Here are 2 Vintage Vespa Smallframes as a package deal. One is more of a project/parts bike, the other is almost ready to go. The White one: The frame is a Vespa 50, but the motor is a primavera motor with a 135cc Kit. The exhaust pipe now rubs the wheel and needs to be replaced. The Black one: The frame is a primavera frame, but the motor is a vespa 50 motor. There's a 90 kit to go with it included. These look pretty straight and at this price it's a great deal! Someone go snatch these up! Here's the link and the photos. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/mcy/1665542653.html

Vespa 90 for $600 in Green Bay, Wisconnsin

2010-03-23T21:31:00.000-07:00

I think this is a Vespa 90 but I'm not 100% sure on that. I'd say it's a fair price for a nice looking project. The ad says it turns over and the motor has compression which is good. It probably wouldn't take much to get this thing back on the road. Here's the link and the photo. http://greenbay.craigslist.org/mcy/1657134327.html

1982 Vespa P150 for a Zero Turn Mower in Springfield, Missouri

2010-03-23T21:24:00.000-07:00

Okay this could be a great deal for someone if you have a zero turn mower that you don't need or if you can track one down cheap to trade. A nice looking scooter for a fair trade. They might even be willing to take cash, you never know until you ask. Here's the link and the photos. http://springfield.craigslist.org/mcy/1657388392.html

1964 Vespa 90 for $850 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

2010-03-21T20:59:00.000-07:00

This is a nice looking Vespa 90. The ad says it will run with a little effort which is a little vague. Personally, I wouldn't pay $850 for this if it's not running but someone might and I don't think it's a bad deal but it's not a great one. Anyways, here's the link and some photos of it. http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/1654227728.html

1966 Vespa Sprint/Allstate? for $1,000 in Long Island, New York

2010-03-21T20:50:00.000-07:00

I believe this is a Vespa Sprint. It looks pretty good and the ad says it was running last year. This might just need a little work to get going again. It seems to be missing it's badges and there's a few reflectors that have been added at some point. I'm not really sure what's going on with this thing but it might be a good deal. Definitely worth checking out. Here's the link and the photos. http://longisland.craigslist.org/mcy/1654502247.html

1962 Lambretta Li Series 3 for $1,200 in Connecticut

2010-03-15T09:52:00.000-07:00

Here's a nice looking Lambretta Li Series 3 that looks like it's all original. This is a damn good deal for this scooter in my opinion. I would love to own one of these. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://nwct.craigslist.org/mcy/1644274587.html

1979 Vespa P200 for $750 in Cudahy, Wisconnsin

2010-03-14T21:45:00.000-07:00

Here's a project Vespa P200 for a very fair price. Looks to be in not too bad a shape. I'd say it's a pretty good buy at this price. Here's the link and photo. http://scoot.net/classifieds/forsale.html?id=20662

1962 Vespa VBB for $750 in Dorsey, Vermont

2010-03-14T18:28:00.000-07:00

Here's a great looknig original Vespa VBB. That patina is awesome in my opinion! I'd take this thing and have it restored mechanically and leave the paint the way it is. This is a damn good deal for this scooter. I'd buy it myself if it were anywhere near me and if I didn't already have 2 other projects I'm into right now. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://burlington.craigslist.org/mcy/1643558887.html

1965 Vespa 90 for $1,000 in Daytona Beach, Florida

2010-03-13T22:39:00.000-08:00

Okay, this is not really a good deal at all for this scooter and if you're looking into buying it I wouldn't pay more than $500 for it. It's a project as it sits and does not run. Someone painted the battery side with black spraypaint. It's missing the engine side door in the photos. I'm guessing that this person just threw a number out there based on other Vespas on craigslist. Might be worth getting if you like Vespa 90's and can get it for half of what they're asking. A Vespa 90 in that condition is only worth between $400-$700. Maybe I'm just a cheap bastard. Here's the photos and the link. http://daytona.craigslist.org/mcy/1643012401.html

1980 Vespa P 125 for $1,700 in Salt Lake City, Utah

2010-03-13T22:22:00.000-08:00

Here's a nice looking Vespa P 125 that will make a great daily rider for someone. The price is pretty good and the scooter looks great. Again, the P-series Vespa's are considered the most reliable scooters and are easy to work on and find parts for. Here's the link and the photos. http://saltlakecity.craigslist.org/mcy/1642433718.html

1985 PX 150 E for $1,500 in Baltimore, Maryland

2010-03-13T22:12:00.000-08:00

This is a great deal on a P-series Vespa that you don't see too often here. This would make a great first scooter for anyone. It's easily worth $500 to $1,000 more than they're asking. These are widely considered the most reliable Vespas made and parts are easy to come by. I'd say this is a steal for this scooter. Here's the link and the photos. http://baltimore.craigslist.org/mcy/1643207643.html

Package Deal 1 Lambretta LD 125 and 1 Lambretta LD 150 for $1,300 in Detroit, Michigan

2010-03-13T22:03:00.000-08:00

I wish I could buy these!!!!!!!!!! Here you have 2 Lambretta LD's for $1,300 which is a pretty good deal in my humble opinion but then again I love these slow bastards. They ooze style and even though they're very slow, who the hell wants to go fast on something that looks so good cruising? Enough rambling about LD's, here's the link and photos. http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/mcy/1641605568.html

1978 Rally 200 for $1,000 in San Jose, California

2010-03-13T13:40:00.000-08:00

Here's a nice looking complete Vespa Rally 200 project. This is a fair price for this scooter. You don't see these every day and they're arguably one of the best looking and peforming scooters Vespa ever made. Here's the link and the photos. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mcy/1640991516.html

1978 Vespa 50 special for $1,400 in Cleveland, Ohio

2010-03-13T13:33:00.000-08:00

It's a Vespa 50 special which is only 50cc's and very slow but it looks to be in excellent original condition so I'd say this is a fair price. I'm pretty sure these are pretty easily kitted and could end up to be screamin' fast with the right upgrades. Here's the link and the photos. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/1640619076.html

1964 Vespa 90 for $1,350 in New Orleans, Louisiana

2010-03-13T13:26:00.000-08:00

Okay, here's a Vespa 90 for an okay price. I actually like these and plan on picking one up very soon. I know where one is for $850 near me that I'm going to pick up as soon as I can that is in the same condition. I wish I could get it right now but money is tight and I'm looking at other scooters first. Anyways, here's the link and the photos. http://neworleans.craigslist.org/mcy/1640139219.html

1978 Vespa P-200 for $1,850 in Brooklyn, New York

2010-03-13T13:12:00.000-08:00

Here's a Vespa P-200 for $1,850 which is missing the cowls but otherwise complete and says is freshly rebuilt. You can find cowls for these pretty easily. I'd say $1,850 is a good price for this. Here's the link and the photos. http://www.cycletrader.com/find/listing/1978-Vespa-P200E-96508139

1973 Vespa Sprint for $1,600 in Chicago, Illinois

2010-03-11T01:05:00.000-08:00

This is thing is beat to hell but it still could be worth the money. Looks to be in all original condition. The engine side cowl and the front fender are really messed up. The fork looks like it's probably bent. Other than what is mentioned it could be a very nice project for someone. Here's the link and the photos. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/mcy/1638243019.html

A few Vespas for sale 1964 VNA/VNB for $2,100, a 1966 Super for $1,600 and a 1964 ? with side car for $3,500 in Albany, New York

2010-03-11T00:49:00.000-08:00

Okay here's a few Vespa's for sale that sound like good deals. I'm tired right now and don't feel like listing out all the scooters and details but here's the link and the photos. http://albany.craigslist.org/mcy/1638382608.html

1958 Lambretta LD125 for $600 in Dallas, Texas

2010-03-09T18:23:00.000-08:00

The ad says this thing runs and drives but needs some work. I'd say this is a damn good deal and I buy it myself if it were closer. The Lambretta LD to me is the Cadillac of scooters. They are very slow but damn they look good when restored to original condition. Here's the link and the photos. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/1634806301.html

1980 P200E for $450 in Hartford, Conneticut

2010-03-09T18:09:00.000-08:00

This thing looks like it's a rusted mess but it looks to be mostly surface rust. This is still a good deal. Parts are readily available for this Vespa and you could probably turn it into a nice daily rider that you wouldn't have to worry about scratching up. Here's the link and the photos. http://hartford.craigslist.org/mcy/1636623121.html

1964 Vespa VNB for $1,600 in New Rochelle, New York

2010-03-07T17:48:00.000-08:00

Here's a really nice looking VNB with a 150cc top end, new tires, and new cables. Looks like it's in pretty good condition. Don't know why the front has been cleaned up but not the rear. Anyways, this is a damn good buy at this price. Here's the link and the photos. http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/mcy/1633354011.html
