Stupid price (they go for a few K max over here) but they are renowned for being a LOT of fun and actually really quite decent for green laning and so on. They've got a relatively big following - clubs and so on.

No, you can't.

Ask anyone in any classic car restoration shop, and they will tell you right off that a burnt frame = total loss 99.9% of the time. You can de-pop VIN numbers and such, but you will end up putting them on a restorable vehicle/frame. The type of burnt out shitpiece that was posted earlier? gently caress no.

Once metal has been burned it has been weakened and is instantly corroded to poo poo (regular humidity = instant rust on a torched vehicle) in a span of 12-24 hours. At that point it is no longer usable for anything but scrap. It has been chemically weakened and is basically useless. Now if this is a rare as poo poo hemicuda convertible or something, sure, you can cut out the vin's/data plates and slap them on another vehicle, but they are not and never will be the same as an unmolested car. As for "rebuilding" a vehicle as loving wasted as that craigslist ad? lol, hell no.

I just assumed the guy was selling the head/tail lamps and horn, and figured he may as well throw the rest of the poo poo parts all in together since he had them too- until Aeilerto posted his other listings... kind of wishful thinking I guess.

Just bought it, cant afford it. Due to the Extreme popularity of this bike. i payed $6000 out the door of the dealership. which is above msrp. but in their defense the bike is impossible to find. also i put about $500 worth of upgrades including an Area P exhaust, Hid xenon blue/white headlights, and Ground effects with remote switch. I honestly do not know what to charge so i will take offers, email me if you have a reasonable price. if your going to lowball me dont even waist your time emailing. i do not expect to loose a lot of money off this bike seeing though it is brand new, upgraded, and extremely rare to find

It's not really spam as he says he doesn't know what it's worth and asks for offers. Most people who bought a new 250 payed 5k+ I'm guessing since they are in huge demand. He got screwed, but 5k isn't an unreasonable asking price right now.

Yes hidden text is 100% scam or spam, I have seen spam with it on CL but I suspect whatever they were pushing was a scam in the end anyway, such as those will buy your house sites and stuff.

I live in the deep of texas,a 3rd gen F-body is not a unqiue thing. The only problem I have is finding one within 100 miles of me since I don't have a truck to tow it. With a cheap budget 1000-2000 its not impossible. But this is a project or a later date and a "window shopping" excuse.

I'll be honest I have never heard fo a 3rd gen referred to as an F-Body. Up until I googled it just now I thought F-Body was only used for 4th gens and 3rd gens were third gens.

I have a 2008 Honda Rebel 250. It has just over 1000 miles on it, and never been layed down. It runs GREAT! EXCELLENT CONDITION!!! Would like a trade for a 500-600cc motorcycle, would prefer a cafe style/sports bike, year and make doesn't matter for trade, as long as it's in good condition. The other option is $3700 OBO. Any questions or offers, please email me at frail.words.collapse@gmail.com



MSRP: $3200


AFAIK, there is no shortage of new Rebels. There certainly isn't one in Kingman.

Given that Honda has made 110 million of them since 1958, they're not exactly rare.
