1960s Riverside Bianchi Orsetto Montgomery Ward scooter $150

[myjunk]

I thought before I put it on eBay I would see if anyone on the forum may have any interest. I have this old Wards Riverside scooter. Im told they were the same as the Bianchi Orsetto, I dont know. The scooter a is not complete as you can see, however the tinware is in very good condition. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. This will need to be picked up in Central Lake Mi. or the buy will need to make all shipping araingment. $150

I think $150 is a fair price. I imagine those body panels are pretty hard to find in straight condition like that. Could be good for parts or a really aggressive resto.

Yes, I dont think I am too high on the price at $150. As you mentioned the sheet metal is in very good condition. I just need to find the guy who has or is building the same bike as there are a ton of good hard to find parts on this bike. I thought I would list it here first but it looks like it will hit eBay next week. I wish the picture part of the forum wasn't experiencing trouble as I would list more pictures. As it is the last picture I uploaded on this thread isn't even of this bike!!

What year ruppster do you have 71?

I was never able to tell what year it was. I have since sold it to a collector, where it sits in his museum. Do you know how to determine what years they were built? Thank you

71 had the plastic body's 72 had the fiberglass body and I believe they made a few in 73 with a slightly different body a little shorter on the back

Click on his username, click Private Message, and take this chit-chat out of the classified section. Why I care: Every time I have clicked on the New Posts link, today, this thread has come up. Why it matters: It violates forum rules and keeps this thread at the top of the list, which other sellers may consider unfair since classified threads are supposed to be bumped only once per week. Read the rules. Thank you.
