Got this taco 33 today.. so close to being a survivor bike. its missing the brake lever and clutch guard .... couldn't believe it when i saw it.

Very cool. They were a POS and broke apart very easily but I still have a vivid recollection of one sitting up behind the counter at a local shop when my Step dad had finally agreed to go at least look at some minis. I wished I had it then and I wished I still had it now. Nice pick.

That is fantastic! Great score! You see there are still some great original ones out there...

Great find. I guess that design kept a lot of people from swapping motors....very cool.

I don't think it's a Taco....It's NOT purple.:laugh:, or is that just a lousy color picture.

Shows what you know. They were pink that year. Have been ever since, come to think of it.

you can tell by the grease and grime on the motor and motor plate that motor has been on that bike forever. Back tire is worn smooth somebody rode the heck out of that thing. I'd call that a true survivor,I'll bet it cleans up nice .

Very nice find!!

I understand that it's rare and original and all that but I have to ask,what so called engineer thought that design was a good idea:laugh: Maybe I'm just naive.:shrug:

I think its called making it cheaper but calling it better. They looked awesome when they were Spanky New.

Sounds like the words of guys who wish they had one

Wish it was in my garage!:drool:

 

[Hounddog]

OK so who's garage did it end up in? Come on already and show us a few more pictures too. :thumbsup:

To me that and the 2 stroke Series one Taco hanging center frame minis built similarly were the coolest looking minibikes ever made, ugly to some but the simplistic design is beautiful to me and what I always thought of when I heard about a Taco minibike. Nice Tacquito.

OK OK I got it. It only cost me my left one and a deal with the devil:bowdown::devil2::clap:
