Not sure where to post...

I had a plumber out digging up my yard yesterday. And he dug up a 1973 x90. It's all there except everything above the cylinder jug. It is not in good shape. The frame is not rusted out but pretty much everything else is rusty. Is there any value to this bike at all? Is it worth trying to restore or even part out in this condition? It's been in the ground at least 30 years.

Maybe if there are any salvageable parts put them on EBay.

I'd be more worried about what else is buried in your yard

Did you run the frame VIN to see if it was hot? Who buries a bike? If it was clean and if it was mine, I'd throw the carcass on Ebay no reserve and I'd see where it went. Just because its small doesnt mean its cheap to fix.
