1971 Honda CB500-Four K0 $6,500 Hailey, ID

This is Pete’s over at OWF he posted it over there, it’s a nice Bike.  Not a Willys but worth the share he is a great supporter of all things Willys.

Information from seller:

I’ve decided to sell my 1971 Honda CB500-Four K0. I spent about 18 months doing a frame off restoration on the bike. Every part of the bike has been cleaned, polished, or painted. The fuel tank was stripped, primed and painted with 4 coats of Toyota Calvary Blue and 6 coats of 2k Clear over the paint and stripes. The inside of the tank was acid cleaned and lined. New seals and bearings throughout, complete new wiring harness, new brakes, new rims and spokes on polished original hubs, new tires, new Delkavic four into one exhaust, new coils and plug wires, new clutch, new rear shocks, rebuilt and polished front forks, new chain, new signal lights, new seat, new handlebars grips and all switch controls, new mirrors, new clutch, brake, speedo, and tach cables, and more. The bike runs perfectly and rides like a new 1971 Honda. The only cosmetic defects are the front fender which had a dent that has been straightened, and the points cover has scratches on it. It’s a beautiful bike, and is roadworthy to take you anywhere. It’s a blast to ride. I’m only selling to move on to another project. Asking $6500 OBO. Willing to trade for a clean Audi TT MK1.

Fiberglass Parkette Drag Body(?) Loganville, GA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Features, Racing • TAGS: , , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350. This was listed in Loganville, GA, in January of 2024. The price is dropped and is now for sale in Batesville, MS. It looks like the 305 engine was removed, hence the lower price. Thanks to Brad for updating us.

This body appears to be a Parkette style body (with the site swooshes) with a Bobcat type hood, but assembled together as a single drag-like body.

“Has a Ford 9” rear end on it. Pretty heavy so good scrap. I do have a forklift to load on trailer.”

Old Time Swamp Buggy Racing

• CATEGORIES: Features, Racing, videos • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Steve shared these two videos showing swamp buggy racing from the 1950s and swamp buggy racing today. I remember seeing similar videos on the Wide World of Sports back in the late 1970s.

This first video highlights some crazy looking buggies (and no helmeted-drivers):

This video shows some vintage looking jeeps and how slow they go in the swamp (9:46 mark).
