Any market for a CR480?

[Joshwfl]

I can get it (82) off a friend for cheap, needs a good cleaning. Is there any real market for these?

[Tharrell]

Yeah, I have one I'm reworking for the post vintage races.
You gonna get it for yourself or resale?
What's he asking for it?

[Joshwfl]

Not really sure what I'd do with it yet, I can pick it up for a couple hundred.

There is a market for everything. These bikes are popular in vintage motocross, but the 1983 model is better and commands a higher price. If it is in good condition you might sell it on for $800-$1,000.

[Tharrell]

Keep me posted if you want to turn it over or part it out.
I'm on the hunt for some CZ's right now but would consider another 480.
I kinda like the 4 speed tranny. Tony

I have a 1983 cr480 that a bought a few months ago for a project, I only need the engine and was going to part out the rest. Im hoping a vintage racer needs some spare race parts. Are there any vintage mx messageboards or websites that you hoons know of?

There is a CR480 specific group on Yahoo Groups.
Here's the best vintage site I know of.

The front-end should be sold easily as it is a drop in upgrade for the late 70s CR250R and CR450R...
