There were a dozen or so of these "found" last year that are now all over the place for sale at twice what they are worth unless you have money to throw away at a bike in a box that you'll never open. As soon as the crate is opened, they'll be worth $10K less.

Oh, yeah, before you try to RIDE one of these, you'll have to spend another couple thousand dollars having all the brake lines, seals, tires & rubber parts replaced because they're all either plugged up, hard or cracked.

sold for $24,000

I saw a nice Norton when I was in Athens a couple months ago, kind of surprised to see it. Took a picture maybe I will post it when I get the chance.

Yep. It'll be worth 1/2 that much after it's removed from the crate and made roadworthy.
