[QUOTE="jdhmike, post: 45601, member: 2865"] Gentlemen, I have located a numbers correct semi basket case 1950 Rapide C. Engine and chasis and front end intact, tank has been refinished and seat has been recovered. Fellow started to resotre in the late 1980's and passed away. Son says he will consider selling bike. It has been stored inside for approx 25 years. I suspect the motor will have to be redone after sitting so long. He reportedly installed new pistons and rings back then , however has not been run. What is a fair and reasonable price for this project? I have a number (6) other bikes and would really like to add this one to my collection. As well, I think it might be a great project to keep busy for awhile. Your thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mike [/QUOTE]
