Default Ironhead value?

Hello all

new member here

I am hoping someone can help me out.

I own a basket case 1983 Sportster XLX which is in need of a engine. I believe i have 95% if the rest of the bike. It was recently dropped in lap in boxes... completely disassembled.

In my limited search for an engine for this bike (a couple nibbles no results yet)
I have come across a complete fully assembled 1980 1000 sportster ironhead with 7,900. original miles..

I am new to searching / buying parts for HD motorcycles...

My question is what is this 1980 worth? from the pictures I have seen it is in excellent shape. I have not seen it in person yet.. plan too this week.

Thanks
any info will help.

ps I did do a Kelly Blue Book search and it came back at $2050.00 for the 1980. but i could not enter any condition / mileage into that search.

I can't help with this. It is rare to see a sale of just an engine. I think you just have to negotiate the best deal that you can. There are not many potential buyers, but it sounds like you may really need it as there are not many around. See what others may say.

Do global searches on CraigsList, Kijiji and eBay and see what comes up.
