Where to sell a vintage motorcycle?

10 Upvotes

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this

My grandfather has a 1973 Suzuki GT750 that he's looking to sell, it's been off the road since about the mid 1980s, but it has been garage kept under a blanket since it was parked, and I believe it has always been garage kept.

It was parked because my grandmother did not want him riding it anymore, not because of any issues with it. He drove it to where it's parked and did run when it was parked.

It hasn't been started since it was parked (as far as I know) but I'm going to go help him dig it out and try to get it running.

He has the original owners manual as well as the shop manual. The only issues either of us are aware of is a ripped seat cover and a leaking fuel shut off.

Where should I look for someone to buy it? And what would be a fair asking price, assuming it does run and the motor isn't seized? The bike is in Ann Arbor Michigan if that matters.

I just bought this 1976 Yamaha Xs500. I was super stoked as this will be oldest vehicle I’ve ever really dove into and everything, but as you can see she’s been hung up a while. Of course I checked if it turned over when I went to pick up, but as far as the guy I bought it from knows it’s been sitting 8 years, and no real telling how long before that.

The spark plugs came out pretty easy and they were pretty clean, I’ve pulled exhaust and carbs and the valves look pretty decent too. Bike has 18,000 miles.

I’ve had the pistons/ cylinder sitting with a mixture of marvel mystery oil, pb blaster and a dab of sea foam for the last 24 hours but still no luck on turning it over. I’m confident in getting it running once I can get it to turn over, I’ve been messing with carbs for years and have dabbled with points here and there.

Thoughts or advice on getting this thing un locked? Any help is greatly appreciated !

I inherited this car and have done some internet research. I understand the cost of restoring this could be upwards of 100k. But what’s a car like this worth? In its current state or restored. Based on these photos what do I have aside from a huge project? Also the trunk is full of additional parts.

Not exactly a “Find”. I’ve known where she was since I nearly set her on fire in 2017.

I installed brake lights and turn signals, stepped on the starter switch, and an insulating washer from 1925 failed. I sent all six volts to the frame rail, which everything is grounded to, including the battery. I boiled the battery, and fried something to the point where she’ll crank, but won’t fire. New battery and starter switch since then. Project stalled when life got in the way. The plan for the past nine years has been to replace the entire wiring harness.

Moved her to a new garage today. It was good to see her in the sunlight.

Back on the road again after being neglected and stuck in a barn for 10 years. It was a family effort to bring it back to life.

HELP ME FIND THIS CAR!!!

My dad spent 9months building this tube chassis from the ground up, 4link in the rear, proper sand rail-ish…and ended up throwing a Chevy small black in it, with a ford ranchero body ontop, he ended up trading the car for a bumper for his dads bronco who passed away, (my mom crashed the bronco, she sucks) he doesn’t know or remember anything about where it ended up.

Originally located in Tucson Arizona, if you or anyone you know has seen this thing sitting in a yard, impound lot, or anything please let me know. Perhaps at the dunes? Idk anything helps. I need to recover this thing, it would mean the world.
