1960s Taco minibike collectors dream - $850

[Havasu Dave]

Some of you, (like maybe five people left on this site) might appreciate this. I'd go pick it up if my recent health care expenses hadn't turned my wallet into a vast wasteland of pocket lint and bar girl business cards.

Oh, and here is one for the rest of OldMiniBikes, although this one has already received that Chinese Turd polishing, including some sort of graphics and Yamazuki rear pet container for the proud new owner to stash his backward-wearing MAGA Trucker's caps. :repuke:

That Baja is bad ass if those graffics were rattle canned on there and rattle can cleared that’s one hell of a buy!

Nice Taco. Thanks for sharing Dave.

Isn't that a power products engine on the Taco?

 

[Nalu808]

That’s what I was thinking. Pretty wicked little mini!

That's funny Dave, but so true.

THAT'S A Nice One Dave ! :thumbsup::thumbsup: I wish you could afford to but it to....:laugh:

 

[Itype2slo]

it's one of the coolest I have seen. Wish I could afford it.:thumbsup:

 

[chipper]

I can afford it and I have one friend in Vegas ( I lived in Vegas for a year back in 86 ) but he's a loser and can't help !

 

[chipper]

That's a so cal San Bernardino phone # ?

 

[chipper]

He's never tried to start it ?

Very cool taco! You would think a minibike like that would sell fast

I like it a lot too. But these days people are holding off on the altered and/or the can sprays. It's all about original untouched, regardless of it's condition. You have American Pickers to thank for that. Oh and the quality of those half butt Harbor Freight motors that just ruin everything. If I had a dollar for every Harbor motor I saw on CL I would be rich.

Yep. On all counts. That bike is still for sale. But at 850, its still at the top of it's margin. Remember, has to be a good investment too, put the kids through school, otherwise, it's an unwise buy. Hi Paps.
