The reason they are sought after is because they are old...they didn't make many(rare). That doesn't mean crap old, rare, UNLESS there is a demand for them. And guess what, you have a bike there that is all three...BINGO. But condition is also everything. Yours needs a lot of work, and with your pics, you can't tell what all it needs for parts, VINTAGE period correct parts. My advice would be if you are only interested in a running driving mini bike. Would be to either offer it as a trade to someone who will probably fix it up and put it on a shelf....with lights..maybe mirrors too. Or slap it up on EBay and see what she will bring. Buy something less collectable for riding. Or the third option..cobble it up and make a rider out of it. Your bike and your decision. Hope this helps
