I own a handful of cruisers. The one that holds the least monetary value is the one I will never sell because it means the most to me. That's the shoddily built, poorly executed, rusty pig named Bucky. Just goes to show value, like beauty, is...
Bar none, the greatest indicator of “Pig Value”is body condition. Engine/drivetrain modifications or changes, or any other mechanical modifications pale (or are even nothing) in comparison to the value of the body being absent of visible rust.
Sad state of affairs. After completing the heat riser gasket replacement I cracked the flange to the exhaust. This is a 1970 pig. I am disappointed and sad.
