Snarley Bill Posted July 23, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2012 i'm getting alot of folks interested in my cushman, which i was'nt expecting. it's for sale but not quite yet. there are a few bugs that i need to iron out before i sell it. here's the scoop. it is a 58 pacemaker. that looks original on the outside almost. it has a honda 390 cc clone engine that is built to the hilt. with a comet cvt automatic transmission. it is electric start, has a custom made hydraulic disc brake in the front, overcize polished aluminum wheels with tubeless motorcycle type tires. it is absolutely gorgeous, and has a $2000,00 dollar two tone paint job. silver and medium blue clearcoat. the bugs i need to iron out have to do with safety. i overbuilt the engine and it is just to fast for the particular model it is. i took it to georgia last summer and had a few close calls in the curves. it will probably run over 70mph like it is. i would'nt want anyone getting hurt. when i get time i want to detune it a little. smaller carb, and stock head. it is very well engineered. i built it last winter and rode it about 400 miles. i put $6000.00 in it not including my labor. i will want $6000.00 for it firm when i sell it. i have folks waiting in line for it that have seen it. i just can't sell it until i have it perfect. that may be awhile cuz i'm bulding an eagle for my buddy so it has priority. i got some pm's about pics i will work on that. every part in it except the frame forks and body are brand new including the engine and drive train.

Black Owl Posted July 23, 2012 Share #3 Posted July 23, 2012 That's what meter maids rode back in the 50's. So Bill, does it come with the chalk stick???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx2sturgis Posted July 23, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I was kidding of course, I have a buddy who has a 1955 Cushman Truckster, a 3-wheeler. I believe he gave $2500 for it several years ago. I know that to a collector these things are worth money, but I just cant imagine paying $6000 for something that is that old, and used that infrequently. And goes slower for me than for the guy that owned it last! I hope you sell it and the buyer is tickled pink. I see that Barrett Jackson show now and then and I'm amazed that a car...a damn CAR...can sell for that kinda money. An airplane, maybe. A house...ok...but a CAR? lol jeeze....

I want a Cheap one in rough condition. Tomthere are alot of them out there. i gave $350.00 for the one i'm selling. just look for cushman on the web. ive got one i'm working on now, a 1958 eagle. it can probably be had for $45,000. 00. it is a prototype i'm building for a friend. he may sell it. the last one i built for him will out run most motorcycles. they are both v-twins with custom built billet aluminum 4 speeds we designed and built just for the scooters.
