Looks like a great candidate for a full restoration.  The only parts that looks Incorrect are the seat and inside of the box.  If that was anywhere near me, I would be going for a look. 

I hate when there is no asking price! Anyone else find that annoying?

I think no asking price is a dumb thing to do , Rick .

They just open themselves to every low ball offer out there .

I called and spoke with the owner. It belonged to her dad and has been in the family since the early 60's. The asking price is $10,000. A little high considering it needs a total restoration.

I agree on the pice.  I was thinking in the 6-7k range.  The Saints bike that is for sale looks like a solid restoration candidate also, but closer to the  $5000 mark.

I also communicated with the owner of the Saints bike. He said he wants $6,000 for it. After you factor in the shipping cost it was a little more than I wanted to spend. I think it's worth closer to $5,000 as well.
