[Silly Little Cars] 1971 Cushman Truckster

[Dan Das Mann]

I think it all depends on why you are buying it. The coolness factor is very
high, but I wouldn't want to count on that one. On the other hand, I bought
a 73 a few years ago aand aftere a bit of love, we use it around the
warehouse every day. I do love it, but it really kinda like an oversized go
cart. I would definitely do it again...

That's a neat old Cushman.  I have one the same vintage and I use it every
day in the summer.  If you haven't driven a 3-on-the-tree it takes a little
getting used to.  Not running, I would say $600 would be more reasonable,
running well would be $1200-1500 but that is my area here in Oregon.  It
seems like there are better deals in CA.  The engines are simple.  As long
as it has good compression you are probably going to be able to get it
running well.  Make sure the brakes are ok.  The curved windshield Cushman
are a little more desirable it seems just for the cool factor.  If you are
really ambitious and want to drop some money on it, there are kits to swap
to a Honda or BS engine.

Good luck with it.
