AMC RULES 36,945 #2 Posted May 14, 2013 I'm thinking for that kind of money you should, at the very least expect that little RJ to be fully restored... and gold plated too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,547 #3 Posted May 14, 2013 They both loom like decent horses. I am surprised to see those near you, the rjs are hard to find anywhere. The 35 MIGHT be worth a thousand running and driving but I have to agree on high prices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,897 #4 Posted May 14, 2013 The value of anything is solely dependent upon the moods of the buyer and seller at the time of the transaction. However, in this case, I think the seller is a bit overly optimistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,116 #5 Posted May 15, 2013 I was down your way about a month ago in the Harmony/Statesville area for a week. My brother and myself roamed the country side every single day and we found NOTHING. There was a junk dealer/auction house in Harmony that we stopped at and his prices were insane for absolute junk. He had a real crappy B-100 and he was firm at 600.00. He over heard me muttering to my brother that I wouldn't take it if he gave it to me! It looked as though it had been sitting outside for 20 yrs. That B-100 was the only Horse I saw all week. Lotsa of box store junks and lotsa John Deere's You would think that with most people having larger yards and all of the farm lands that there would be a little more red! My brother that we were visiting lives in Statesville and he told us North Carolina is John Deere country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #6 Posted May 15, 2013 Great lookin' Horse! Very nice. For $3500 I'm guessing the trailer and towing vehicle come with it. Yes? If you're $$$...Loaded...$$$, with nothing to spend the loot on, go ahead pick the Stallion up. If not, pass. Thanks for the pic, lovely Horse! PS. At Lejeune we only had push mowers when I was there in the early 60's. We infantry riflemen were the Horses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats what he is asking, Not necessarily what they are worth in your area. I bet it sets in his shed for a long time at that price. If not I may have to bring a few to you to sell on halves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #8 Posted May 15, 2013 Sooner or later there's an ass for every seat. And a seat for every ass. It's just a matter of finding the right ass for those seats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
