If all original and in running condition should be worth far more than restored...

I checked out a rundown old barn down the road from me today and wasn't as lucky, I just found a bunch tall plants growing under fluorescent lights. Weird.

It's amazing how these stories are true!
I think I would only find cow **** and hay in the barns around here.
Antiques Road Show would say it is worth more untouched.

I've got a feeling this guy knows what he's got but I can't figure out why it has sat for so long. I'll let y'all know how this turns out.

I could get interested in the black Panhead in the background if it was for sale

How many times do I have to tell you to stay the hell out of my barn!?!??!?

I would LOVE to come across something like that. I would bet it would go for more than 4-5 k. Look at the bike they covered in American Iron. It sat for years and they were able to fire it up and set land speed records with it. Looks like with a little cleaning it will be as presentable as most bikes that are ten years old.

Is this like the old story of an old women selling a 65 chevy for cheap and it turns out to be a vette in moth bolls? I dunna know, tires aren't flat, not a whole lotta dust on it, rust has been kept at bay, makes me wonder.
