'World's Oldest Unrestored Indian' sells for $155,000

"A 1903 Indian motorcycle sold at auction over the weekend for $155,000.
The American classic was billed as the oldest, unrestored motorcycle from the company that began selling bikes in 1902.
The 1.75-horsepower single-seater hasn’t run in over 80 years, but is almost all-original. Mike Mederski of the National Motorcycle museum called it a “wonderful find” and a great document of how motorcycles of the era were manufactured.
The auction was won via a phone bid from a motorcycle collector from New York City known only as Georgio.
No word on what he has planned for his latest acquisition."

Not bad!

That's amazing, 03' was when my Grandfather was born. For me it would be hard not to restore it.    :nixweiss:

i would never restore it

but i might try to get to to run properly

if its done very carefully and the engine is not completely worn out it might work.
