Default What's it worth?

Neighbor has a 1980 Ironhead, sitting in the backyard under a tarp. (Well at least partly under a tarp. Been ther awhile. Entire primary is gone, or at least out of it. She says she has it in the basement. Transmission is bad from what she says. I know there are all sorts of variables but whats a ball park on this. Pretty shitty looking but will clean up I think. Thanks.

$250. And I'm serious. From what you've said about it, I'm sure its gonna take a lot of work and $ to get it going again so buy it for the least amt possible.

I agree-you don't know what your getting into untill it's too late. I found a decnt 79 iron head that runs and rides around here for $1900 just to give you an idea. Unless you want an old school project I say just buy a running bike and save the trouble.
