Description Condition: Used Make: Silver Pigeon Engine Size: 192cc Model Year: 1959
Here is a 1959 C74 Silver Pigeon Scooter. These scooters were manufactured in Japan by Mitsubishi. They were marketed in the USA by the Rockford Scooter Company. These were sold from 1958 to 1964 in Montgomery Ward stores. When the scooter was rescued it was a runner. It was stripped down and painted. The scooter was built for and used in a movie. It would make a great piece as a static display. The bike is presently not running but needs very little to run. The engine is the original Mitsubishi 192cc 4 stroke. Has the original Nikki carburetor. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a jackshaft that is reversible for 2 different gear ratios. Love the mechanism that starts the bike. It’s simple but elegant design. To make the motor a runner it needs a throttle cable, exhaust pipe welded, wire up the ignition and a few nuts and bolts. The body panels are excellent and straight. The paint is not show quality because it did not have to be painted pristine for the movie. From 5 ft and 5 MPH is looks great. It has all original emblems on it. New floorboard rubber mats with Pigeon emblems just added. The handlebar grips are original. Ignition and light switch is original. This model did not come with a horn or speedometer. The only missing component is the front fender. One recently sold for <$20 on Ebay. The front tire may be original. The rear is not. The scooter was used on a farm so they had added the rear tire to get traction with that massive 192cc motor!! The rear brake will need some work. The underside of the scooter is just as nice. Has a nice solid muffler. It even has the brake light switch! This is a rare opportunity to own a scooter that would look good on display or turn it into a rider. It will be sold with a NH Registration and a Bill of Sale. NH doesn't issue Titles for Vehicles over 15 yrs old. The NH registration and a bill of sale produces a title and registration in any state.$500 deposit within 48hrs of the end of the Auction. Balance due in 7 days. International bidders are welcome. You need to follow the payment schedule. I will not crate the scooter.Any bidder with less than 5 feedback needs to contact me before bidding. I will cancel any bid with <5 feedback unless we talk first.I received a question on shipping the scooter. It is the bidders responsibility to identify and arrange for the shipping of the scooter.
