1934 Elgin restored value and restore cost question!

they are misinformed. The advice you got here is spot on. Mike

300.00 current condition
1500.00 plus to restore correctly (plus needed parts)
700.00 to 800.00 value after proper restoration

it is a joke , please remove if it offended anyone , not my intention , to cause any heartache or problem- that bike would never sell ,if restored , most will want original , like the example for 200 do not be mis -informed by value or rarity , look on ebay , or auction post sales .send me some photos of anything you do not want , or something you want to know about , thanks [email protected] 407 697 3999 ,, move to the front row and learn ,
