Advice on fair price for 79' Liquifire

Post by JDLF »

I have a friend that wants to purchase my Liquifire. I'm the original owner. Build date 10/79. It’s like new with only 598 miles on it and has been sitting in the garage covered for over 20 years. I’m trying to come up with a fair price and this site looked to be the best on getting advice. Any thoughts/opinions would be grateful. Thanks.

Opinions on value will vary wildly, and it does depend on where you are located. If you are in the snow belt, and it really is as nice and complete as you say, I'd say $400-600 as-is, considering it will need a mechanical rebuild after sitting 20 years. It is considered a 1980 model.

Pictures really help. Any scratches, dings, or belly pan dents?

Thanks for the feedback. I know what you mean on pricing. Based on ones I've seen for sale, the prices are all over the place. I do reside in Minnesota. The only blemish is a small slit (~1/2") in the seat, which could probably be repaired with one of those leather repair kits. Other than that, it's in great shape. I was going to post a couple of picks, but got a "file to large" error. What's the size limit for pictures? Thanks again.
