Subject:Re: 83 aircooled Westy fs, what price?
From:Stan Wilder

I sold a nice 81 Westy aircooled with 87K on it for $3500.00 90 days ago.
I've got a good 81 Westy aircooled with bad paint that I'm asking
$2500.00 for.
Unless its a read dog or has rust / a dead engine / or other fatal flaw
it should bring at least $2000.00
I think that you must just post it and wait. It normally takes me three
months to sell one of the Westys I restore but  I get use out of them and
I know what I've got and the buyer knows what he's getting.
