At the time I had just found the last two missing TRX 250Rs I needed for an every production year collection. Just that it would be the pinnacle of a growing collection. I never went into it thinking of any profit or assembly ideas. ģWW: When you purchased it, did you purchase it mainly as a.for lack of a better term, a toy, or did you feel like there was some investment value in your consideration? BTW, he did get that convertible Cobra Mustang.
Wiring $25K 2000 miles away has the potential for shadiness.
That made me feel good, but I knew I had no wiggle room for error. I think he said "I like to finish the race on the horse I started with" or to something to that effect. He did say at week 2, that he'd give me another week, but there was a growing list of people wishing to make a play for purchase. I assume he started spending the money in his head and the reality of getting that Mustang grew. Though as time went on over the coarse of the three weeks it took for me to secure the financing, he did decide he wanted to move forward and sell to me or the next guy. He at first told me he would be fine either way and was not that worried or excited to sell it. Though somewhat computer illiterate he has been in the exotic off road field for many years.
He seemed to realize it's significant value. We discussed a price (scary price), and my determination got the better of me.ģWW: Was the owner surprised at your interest in it? He obviously hadn't been in much of a hurry to sell it after having it in his garage all these years. About 2 weeks later I got a call from the owner who was from out west and dreamed of buying a new Mustang. He replied and said he'd pass my contact info and interest to the owner who had no personal computer. I quickly signed up on the 450R forum and private messaged the guy regarding ownership of the crated ATC. Funny thing was it had been posted for about two weeks already when I saw it for the first time, and yet not too much fuss had been made. I made a jump over to a 450R site via a link and there it was pictured by a quad enthusiast. I was making my usual rounds on the different ATV forums and stumbled upon it over at another 3 wheeler site. Seemed innocent enough.ģWW: Give us a little bit of back story, How did you first learn about this bike? Thought I'd get back into ATC's cheaply and always loved 250Rs. I've had a couple ATCs during the 80's and 90's as a young adult, but really started collecting in '04 with the purchase of a really roached out '86 ATC 250R locally. We caught up with Andy to ask him a few questions about the sale and what its been like owning this very special machine, and him being the great 3WW member that he is graciously accepted!ģWW: Andy, How long have you been into trikes, and what originally brought you to 3WW? Check it out here: 250R setup instructions. Andy also recently posted the original Honda dealer setup instructions on 3WW in Trikesylvania for members to check out with in anticipation of this sale. This is the same machine, as that sale fell through. You might recall it being up for auction previously. Andy Seibel (Buster Brown on 3WW), the owner of the New in the crate 250R has decided to put it up for auction again.
