Bear with me, I have limited information. A guy at work has a neighbor cleaning out his garage. He is supposed to have a 61 Atlas. First, is this even a possible model for the year? Would it be a 650? I know very little about this model.
If he does have the year wrong, and it does turn out to be an Atlas what is the collectability, value etc. of this motorcycle. Does it have the mystique of the Commando? Is it a worthwhile project?
Price has not yet been discussed, and I dont know the condition of the bike. It has apparently been in his garage since the 70s. If it is a complete and not running bike, what would be a fair price? (an educated guess? Range?)
Take it easy on me, I know there is very little information here and a lot of wishful thinking. I am just looking for some insight before I go to see it.
I have been searching the net, but havent found much on it.
I must be nuts for even going to look at it, as my Commando is still not yet in running order.
Thanks in advance.
