What kind of value could be put on a 1970 Electraglide that looks almost new, but has an assembled title? It was done in 1985 and looks very good but no HD title. Maybe it's only because of an engine switch, I don't know. The seller wants $8000 and that would seem reasonable or cheap for one with a good title, but what does this title do to the value???

Too high no matter how nice.Even w/a good title it would be a long wait for that price.Knocing 2500 to 3000 off might move it.The title part is the main sticker.

 

The title is the money shot. There is probably more to it the just a motor change. From 1970 on up the title went with the frame. If it had a HD title and all origional then I'd say it would be worth $6 to $8k.

 

The problem is you can't tell if a VIN number has been shaved off somewhere and restamped, but a good auto theft investigator can. You get stopped on itwith an assembled title by a cop with some autotheft knowledge and something doesn't look right it will be on the back of a wrecker.You'll be paying an attorney big money to have him try to get your scoot back. There were a lot of Shovels stolen back in the day and there are still a lot of them floating around with bad numbers... I'd stay clear of that bike...

 

offer him 4g's or tell him to shove the shovel..period.....Good luck Ace

 

An excellent suggestion after my own experience...........
