Best price ever is free!!
If you wanted to sell it, you would get about $500 at the most, depending on time of year.

That was the 2nd sled I ever owned. I ran the hell out of it from age 12 to 14, then sold it to my friend for $131 (don't ask on the price...). He continued to ride it until he was 22 or so. Many good memories on that old rig. Get it running and ride it!

yah we stopped, checked it out. I pulled it over and compression seemed to be good and there was no weird noises in the motor so we loaded it. got it home, 120 in both cyls so put some gas in the jugs and it will start after about 5 pulls. I dont know why it dosent fire right away but it dosent. even a little ether still wont fire right away wants to be pulled atleast 5 times. will fire a bit, pull again and it will go. but all cables and brakes work, no lights. The guys had the fuel line mixed up with the line that goes to the crankcase. so it wasnt getting gas i changed it around and i had it idling!!!, cowling is gold with a black and white sticker along the side that says 338 grandprix and looks stock. ill post a picture! gonna fix it up and keep it i guess my buddies kids will enjoy it for sure
