Looks great Rod!  Takes me back to my youth when I would ride them outside the Kresge store in Clawson, Michigan.

And they are a lot cheaper to own than a real horse!!!  I guy in the local newspaper put an ad in the Wanted section that says "I buy anything old that doesn't eat!"...gotta love it!

I need $4,500 for it. I know that sounds high, but try to do one once and see what you end up with. My painter charged me $1,500 just for painting it, then you have the parts that were powder coated, decals, chrome, saddle and bridle was $575.00, and then still had to buy the horse. When I first started I really didn't think that it would be that much to restore, but I got my eyes opened up real fast. It all goes back to a cheap restoration job, or one that you do right. A cheap price you get a cheap restoration job.  upside

If he's interested I can deliver it to Auburn Ind next week. I will be setting up at the Auburn Auto auction and show next week, and will be bringing the ride with me.

No this one has a single speed motor in it. I saw that one your talking about on a U-Tube video. You would pull the reigns back and the horse would shift gears. Not sure how he got it to do all that, but that's a little over the top.
