RE: Looking at a 73 ironhead stock
zmicrofilm,
Sportsters from the 1970's (including early XLCH's) that are running and in good condition are generally selling between $2,000.00 and $2,700.00 USD. A lot will depend on what part of the country they're in, the actual condition (as opposed to advertised condition), desperation of the seller, and time of year. Contrary to popular opinion, AMF Sportsters have proven to be desirable bikes, but parts are getting more and more difficult to find. At the exchange rate for CDN funds, I think $5,000.00 CDN is too high by a wide margin. You'd do better buying one in the U.S. and having it shipped up, but of course the ability to check it out first would be severely hampered...
