76 Liquifire 340

Post by minkamx »

Hi,
I have the chance to pick up a 1976 Liquifire 340 for $200. It has sat for 7 yrs but the motor turns over (said he put oil in cylinders and would pull it over every so often), seat is shot, hood is good. I am sure it needs a track also.
Just wanted an opinion if it was worth buying for $200 or not.


Thanks,Ryan

Great site by the way!!!!

I would not think about the initial cost so much but rather consider how much you will spend on it to get it to the condition you desire. Thats where the dollars come in to play. I bought sleds for $10 and invested a thousand to fix. Consider the fun factor on chasing parts and the good Folks you will meet along the way. <priceless>

76 Liquifire is a very cool sled.

Offer the seller $100 if the track is bad.
If it is good than $200 is fair.
