Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-36-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

Well the 857 is easy....8hp....4 speed.....1967......

That gray one was probably a Work Horse....think it had a Briggs 18hp twin on it.....GT1848

Id have to look up the 500 special.....1968

The 500 Special is on the hard to find list! They were used in the 68 Indy 500. :)

The 857 has been growing on me for some time. It is probably one of my favorite models as of right now.
