Too bad it's so far, I'm only in Bakersfield but the gas would make it crazy. Looks like a neat little project tho!

Still for sale- $2200 is the best I can do. Seems to be a good price considering the mechanicals are all rebuilt and its complete. Has a ton of new parts. It could be a nice driver with a little assy work but NO additional money invested. Could be really nice with a better quality paint job!
This one or the 1960 Harley hummer (super 10) needs to sell so I can make some room in my garage! $3k for the Harley.

I'm thinking of selling one of the cycles. I'm running out of space and even had to put the Harley in the house to give me room to work in it! (plus the garage is 115 degrees!) I'm in central CA.
Read my first post about this cycle for more info. It is complete and an easy project. It has a seat but it's not original. (does have original pan) you would need to fab a bracket to use this seat. It has a front brake too.
I need to get $2300 for it. I don't think I'll go lower.

The luggage rack originally had a spring suspension.Ridebuse, thanks for that link. I looked at it from my iphone before and nothing came up. I looked at that page again after you posted from my home computer and saw the info.
They have a 1948 P-48 shown. Mine is a 1947, least that is what my pink slip says. Mine does not have the springs on the rack like all the other ones I have seen. It is factory though, it isn't missing them.
Maybe the 1947's did not have the springs? I assume that is the reason. I'll need to ask around, no luck finding Powell guys online. Too bad they don't have a Powell website. (they have a registry but that has very little about scooters or minibikes)

That bike went for big money, over $800. I assume it was because it was a senior. Other than the motor it looked pretty complete... New running gear and you're off!
Makes me happy I got that Powell last week and spent what I thought was on the high side of the value. I bet it would do great on eBay!

Thanks Vince. I'm going back and forth. It would be a good driver I guess but might hold out for a complete one. I've passed on a couple and regret it now- but they are out there.

I was thinking of trying for this but it seems like its going high for a bike w/o motor. Over $500 already and still more than a day left. It is only a few hours from me so maybe I'll keep an eye on it.

Rick, I have seen those full bodied scoots before, not sure what they are. Maybe those are P-47's... They are cool tho!
On mine there are seat springs but nothing else. The P-48's I have seen have 3 small springs between the rack and fender. There are pics online of a really nice '48 P-48 that shows the springs well. (red restored one)
I'm not sure why mine does not have those springs, it's a solid mount.
