I picked up a 63 complete Bonnie engine.
It needs a really good clean as you would imagine.
But wondering since only about 5,000 of these were made if its worth much????

Also, what gives with the classifieds for classics on this site? Looks like no one is using them.

The classified section of this forum encompasses ALL of TRatNet, so the old bikes get lost in the sea of Hinkleys.

Parting out an engine COULD get you a grand, if the main components are in good nick, and if you are very patient. Be prepared to get a half-dozen negative feedbacks over the course of parting it out on e-bay, as people buying used parts think they are getting new parts at garage sale prices, and e-bay no longer protects the sellers.

Thanks Paul.
Im might just try craigslist in my area.
Yeah, ebay is a bit of a pain these days. I had a non paying buyer the other month and ebay no longer allowed me to give him bad feedback!
