This wrecks may be protect from wheather to avoid get more rusty. It's important to look after this for better price then. if you have to rebuild all the parts, isn't worth the price.
The jamoke who owns this bike needs to understand that price is heavily dependent on condition. If this bike has been sitting in the weeds for years (decades?) then the engine and frame are rusted, likely beyond repair. No one in their right mind pays even 20 dollars for an unsalvageable bike, never mind 20K. Besides, the sound of his voice tells me he's on meth or has been huffing paint. If the captions were not there, I honestly would have no idea what he is saying.
If the frame and engine arent rotted out, then it might be worth fixing. But somehow i doubt the frame will hold up. And im sure the engine has rot in it also
most of you are shit talkin trolls lmfao do you know what indian bikes are worth? even in this condition??? yes he can get 20gs but if the tard fixed it up maybe well over 100gs
I could see someone paying 1K ... if the frame and key parts are able to be saved ... but it looks like it's sinking into the ground ... I saw an old charger like that ... and it had no floor boards leftor lower finders doors or rear quarters ... but hey the top part of the car was ok LOL LOL ... would be kind of cool to nab that bike and keep as is, if too far gone to restore and just use as some kind of decor where it will be saved from rotting completely away.
I hate people that think their piece of junk is worth millions. They don't want to do any work, they just want to let it rust until they find someone willing to pay some stupid price.
i got one just like it, but mines totally mint, restored from a museum & runs like a top.. with todays economy, i paid 15,000 cash, & its worth 40... so good luck on this piece of junk... more like $4,000 if your lucky as all heck, lol
If this was as new,it would be worth 20 grand. As it is it would cost about 10 grand to restore. However,if it is left like this it will just rust into the ground and be lost forever.
Yup, and the longer it sits and rusts into the ground the more its worth right? Just leave it there for another 30-40 yrs and it should be up around 100k.
As another poster said, maybe $3,000 if the frame and cases weren't rotten through. Things like this is why I quit restoring old motorcycles. Even in the pre-Internet days EVERYONE thought they were sitting on a valuable collector's item, even if it was a Yamaha 50 Special. I would go to one junkyard after another and would be looking at a bare frame with an engine case thinking I might get a transmission or a clutch out of it, and they were all, "No I got plans for that, it's worth money!"
@OldCameraJunk Oh god you're absolutely correct! Nothing pisses me off more than someone who's sitting on something of value, but yet either doesn't want to sell it because of it's value or plans "to restore it someday"...yet they'd rather let it sit outside in over 40 years of mud and rain and crap instead of protecting it with a tarp or moving it. If you're not going to do anything with it, then let it go to someone who will respect it and give it new life.We've got to keep the classics alive!
I am restraining myself here big time because obviosly you have little knowledge about old motorcycles. Realistically today I would say about 3-5 grand if that frame and cases isn't rotten thru. Get it out of the mud like yesterday. Most if it may be scrap if its rotten thru. You can get a nice one already done and running for 20 gs. Get it on ebay and you will see what you get. Dont use that picture tho...!
it is a true relic, dig it out, put it in a safe place as a shrine of a bike long past......i would like too see all the wanna bees out there today on thier lookalike bikes just try to start an ol indisn, im not even gona say start one, put it up.
its only worth 20k if its restored. nobody is going to buy it "as is" for 20k and then spend another 15k to restore it. that guy is stupid. it's just going to sit there and rust into nothing. he be lucky if someone flicks a 1000 dollar bill at him.
The man MUST BE TRIPPIN, it's only worth about 4 grand MAX as it is. I never can understand how people think their Rusty P.O.S's are worth Mint Prices, IT"S NOT IN MINT CONDITION....YOU FOOL !!
dude, put it under cover. In current exposed condition. 5K is more like it. It will take at least 20K to get it roadworthy. If it were properly restored you might be seeing 20 or even 30K but now as is. Sorry
setting on about $ 75.00 in scrap metel. there a time when you got to let go,, My father in law sold a 53 Chief one of 5 built back in 2000, and bought it new, and had all papers with ex motor, and only got $52.000
I'd like to see a video of someone coming by while he's gone and stealing it. Then giving it to someone who will protect, restore, and enjoy it. 20K, what a douche bag.
youre out of your rabbid assed mind if you think that hunk of shit in its present condition is worth 20 grand!! whatever youre smoking, you need to lay off it!
cover the thing! would you leave a dead and mangled body uncovered in the street? put a tarp over it, it's done! besides the condition it's in, you ain't gonna get shit. i'd give ya a nickel, and if ya complained i'd crack ya in the mouth!
give ya 100 bucks for it...cause its gonna take 20 grand TO fix it up! so sad it makes me want to cry seeing this but sure made me roflmfao to hear!!! Use a voice changer much? or is it just your sons darth vader mask? LawL
$200, $500. max for that rusting hulk (unless it was one of the lowest serial #'red or last .. then as much as $2,500. may be offered) an ex salvage shop owner here)
Its; not worth much in the shape it's in and you can go to the southern states and find Indians in much better shape for rebuilding for a hell of a lot less than 20grrrr
You need to dig this Indian out, put it away & protect it! Then get several values from those who are well-known in restoring/collecting Indians. But, for goodness sake, get it out of the pit it's in & has been for a long time. Put it away, inside, inside, inside!
@16gCOWBOY Really? I have a distant relative, rather well off, who has a whole small warehouse of Indians. He;s almost-elderly & from his 30s restored Indian after Indian by his own hands. Some he bought in good shape, all of them eventually got to near-new condition. He must have at least 20-30 & loves showing them off, giving rides in his sidecars. Had no idea they were so valuable. I don't think he cares about their worth as much as he just loves their incredible beauty.
The only repairable part of that bike may be the engine..... the rest of the body is wasted. I wouldn't trust the structural intergrity of the thing at all.
There is always potential in anything. I think maybe 40 % salvagable and the rest can be rebuilt from manufacturers specs,old diagrams and photo's. As long as you have the Vehicle identification number, Chassis number tag and the engine number you can rebuild almost any veteran, vintage or classic vehicle. I should know because I trained as and worked as a classic car/motorcycle restorer. I used to repair and fabricate sheetmetal panels,steel tube and heavy channel chassis.Anything is possible.
Yeah right!! I see idiots like this on craigslist all the time, with no notion of how things are appraised. Right now IT IS a piece of scrap metal at best. Not even good for cannibalizing. Even the seat pan is virtually non-existent, not even good as a template for a new one because it would disintegrate on contact. If you want to know how much of a fortune you're sitting on, try to get it insured against theft and fire. They'll charge you for wasting their time to come out there.
id give him like 500 to a grand,but i just watchd 2 at an auction restored to mint,not even sell for 12 grand,i really hope that guy sees this,hey i got a grand for u rite now dude,mail me! it take 40 grand to restore that,if ur lucky!
20 grand!!!!!!!...yeah that's right...that's how much it would cost to restore it hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha
LOL try and put that thing on back of a truck and it will fall to pieces in your hands that things never gonna sell as scrap metal now let alone "20 grand" HAH this guy needs his head checked thats just raw stupidity at its finest
BUSTED CASES,SHOT RIMS,ICE PIK GOING THREW DOWN TUBES,THIS THINGS TOAST,THE GROUND HAS NO SYMPATHY,HE SHOULD HAVE HUNG IT UP IN A BARN YEARS AGO,THAT WOULD BE A SAVINGS BOND,,,,
I bought a Vincent Black Shadow at an auction for UK£48,000 (US$74,000) and it needs £50,000 (nearly $80,000) restoration work on it! This Indian would be worth $35,000 here in then UK.
Well, considering the fact that this thing sold for under 3 grand new and the fact that it is just getting worse every day, he should PUT DOWN THE CRACK PIPE AND GIVE UP THE BIKE TO SOMEONE WHO WILL DO SOMETHING WITH IT!!!
Dude i hate you! Last year i bought a Kovrovec 1968 for 50$... The most interesting thing is that it wos after a full engine rebuild! I fully intend to spend another 500$ and restore the bike to it's original glory! I'll just add a baterry to it's electrical instalation and exchange it's fixed ignition angle magnet to the one with the new ignition with variable advance.
what a waste!! if u dont want to rebuilt it it better u sell it 4 a couple of buck bcoz seeing that legend sitting there n got rotten it sad me man..really hate 2 see one of a best motorcycle in that condition, what did u aspect someone came by ur door n offer u a 50K????????????? come on man be wise.. i bet if that motorcycle sitting there 4 a 1 or 2 year that thing will turn into a dust, see her condition!!!!!!!! it make me sad!!!!!!!!
By the time he decides to sell it, he'll be dead, the frame will be completely dust, and it will be hauled to the scrapyard by a bunch of idiots thinking it's just a old motorcycle.
@RacerRickxx a very nice IndianChief in good highway shape is, in real money, bringing $5,000-$15,000. Only rare models (and few of them) bring the top $ unless they are ORIGINAL not "rebuilt". $2,000"????? it is worth almost nothing unless you need an anchor or want an "artsy" lamp
I'll give you $51 for it but with all jokes aside please don't let die for good. if nothing else find it a good home and give it away it's bring you nothing where it's at now have a heart
What kind of asshole lets a bike like that sit outside so long it sinks a foot in the ground.Pass the rust on!!!! Bikes like this must be worth more to the people that leave them like this,than anyone with the money to give what its actualy worth.It only makes the servivers worth that much more.Most guys that have bikes like these only keep them so they can say they have one.If he truely liked or knew what he had it would have never sat this way!
Not even worth $200.... go into a motorcycle boneyard and you'll find oceans of this crap from all eras rotting away. To make it worth $20,000 you'd have to invest $19,000 worth of suppiles, parts, and labor. I know, I restored a 25 year old motorbike a few summers ago, compared to this rust bucket, in almost pristine condition, and it took an ass of work and grinding and evaporust.
HEY! Stand up and pick up that 20 grand you are sitting on, and use it to restore that Indian motorcycle before the whole thing turns into rust! It is not worth anything as a bucket of rust, and in the condition it is now is not so far from that. You should be ashamed of yourself to let it deteriorate like that, especially if you think it is worth so much.
Porque você não guardou essa merda em um lugar coberto e longe da umidade seu bosta do caralho,agora quer vender essa merda vende por quilo seu otárioooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuckin Indian, what a way to go, fix up man, get her new treadz and lets see her smile once more, even if she kickz up dust, or dragz her feet, man let her breath again!!!! makes me sik to my heart to see this poor girl just becoming part of the landscape, its not bout money!! its about passion and commitment to what was once great and could well be again. (SAVE HER)
It's worth 20 grand if it's fully restored. In this condition, you'd be lucky to get a grand for it. Take the $1000 and let someone return it to it's former glory. This is just sad to look at.
I live in Ireland and there are lots of old bikes,cars,tractors and trucks from 1930s still lying on farms rotting away because the owners "think" they are sitting on a fortune...but they don't realise that what they have is technically "junk" until it's restored!! I restore vintage stationary engines and chainsaws and it makes me sad to think of the dozens of relics I know of that are rusting away and will NEVER be saved.
There must be hundreds of rotting vintage junkyards across the country. Those guys could catalog the inventory and market through Hemmings, online or whatever, and make some dough. Instead, they just sit on the stuff, waiting years for some guy to stumble in. Keep buyin lotto tickets, dude . . .
lol 20K... How about I track your IP and steal the heap(as it sits) from you!!
Sell it to somebody who will do good with it, or maybe someone will drag it out of the mud for you and shot you in the process, who knows right?? Nuckle head
@SH1974 You ain't kidding. You would think that the idiot would take it out of the weather, and mud, and trees, and weeds, since he's "sitting on 20 grand".... But no, he will just let it sit there until it just disolves into the ground.
we dont need people like this. in this world would it have killed him to at least get that thing under cover. i run into these people all the time they thing there shit is valuable. they just need to be commited to a mental hospital hording is a mental illness.
this is normal jackass that lets historic gems rust away until there worth nothing because they think they can get a rediculous amount of money out of it,so here we see another nice piece of history fade away.
I would be willing to trade a 1826 Webley -Vickers mini-bike that is rumored to have belonged to the illegitimate son of the next door neighbor who had a cousin that was married to the former horse groomer of Davey Crocketts' garbage truck driver....of course I would need to get CASH in addition to this worthless piece of s#@t ! :-)
I would pay 20 grand just to get it out of his hands

The only repairable part of that bike may be the engine..... the rest of the body is wasted. I wouldn't trust the structural intergrity of the thing at all.

There is always potential in anything. I think maybe 40 % salvagable and the rest can be rebuilt from manufacturers specs,old diagrams and photo's. As long as you have the Vehicle identification number, Chassis number tag and the engine number you can rebuild almost any veteran, vintage or classic vehicle. I should know because I trained as and worked as a classic car/motorcycle restorer. I used to repair and fabricate sheetmetal panels,steel tube and heavy channel chassis.Anything is possible.

Yeah right!! I see idiots like this on craigslist all the time, with no notion of how things are appraised. Right now IT IS a piece of scrap metal at best. Not even good for cannibalizing. Even the seat pan is virtually non-existent, not even good as a template for a new one because it would disintegrate on contact. If you want to know how much of a fortune you're sitting on, try to get it insured against theft and fire. They'll charge you for wasting their time to come out there.

Dude i hate you! Last year i bought a Kovrovec 1968 for 50$... The most interesting thing is that it wos after a full engine rebuild! I fully intend to spend another 500$ and restore the bike to it's original glory! I'll just add a baterry to it's electrical instalation and exchange it's fixed ignition angle magnet to the one with the new ignition with variable advance.

What kind of asshole lets a bike like that sit outside so long it sinks a foot in the ground.Pass the rust on!!!! Bikes like this must be worth more to the people that leave them like this,than anyone with the money to give what its actualy worth.It only makes the servivers worth that much more.Most guys that have bikes like these only keep them so they can say they have one.If he truely liked or knew what he had it would have never sat this way!

Not even worth $200.... go into a motorcycle boneyard and you'll find oceans of this crap from all eras rotting away. To make it worth $20,000 you'd have to invest $19,000 worth of suppiles, parts, and labor. I know, I restored a 25 year old motorbike a few summers ago, compared to this rust bucket, in almost pristine condition, and it took an ass of work and grinding and evaporust.
cobrachoppergirl 2 months ago
HEY! Stand up and pick up that 20 grand you are sitting on, and use it to restore that Indian motorcycle before the whole thing turns into rust! It is not worth anything as a bucket of rust, and in the condition it is now is not so far from that. You should be ashamed of yourself to let it deteriorate like that, especially if you think it is worth so much.

TheStokze 2 months ago 2
It's worth 20 grand if it's fully restored. In this condition, you'd be lucky to get a grand for it. Take the $1000 and let someone return it to it's former glory. This is just sad to look at.

I live in Ireland and there are lots of old bikes,cars,tractors and trucks from 1930s still lying on farms rotting away because the owners "think" they are sitting on a fortune...but they don't realise that what they have is technically "junk" until it's restored!! I restore vintage stationary engines and chainsaws and it makes me sad to think of the dozens of relics I know of that are rusting away and will NEVER be saved.
