Blue ATC110?

[fenderbender713]

My grandpa has an ATC110 that he used to give me rides on back in the day, but as soon as I got old enough to take an interest in it, he flattened the tires and put it in the shed. Are the blue ones kind of rare, because I have only seen red ones. It is in running condition, I think it would just need new air filter, gas, tires, and a carb cleaning. The fenders and tank and seat are all perfect, and it has a rear rack. How much is one of these worth? It looks like an '84 or '85, because it has the late style tank and seat. Any information would be great. I think I am going to try and buy it from him soon.

there`s some threads here about the Blue 110s and a few guys here looking for one....do a search

they are a little rare and if it`s as nice as you describe plastics-wise, real rare.

talk him into handing it down/selling it to ya and post pics....great little trikes capable of hauling my 6'5" 230 lb. ass around just fine...my `84 was beatup but still ran/pulled great

Yeah, I've been looking for a 110-blue or not-for a while because I like them. And now since I have my own Yamaha trike, he might see that I wont crash and stuff, and will be a little more willing to sell it.

start by asking him if you can get it out, cleaned, and running good, air up the tires....maybe if he sees you take good care maintanence-wise of your trikes, he`d be more willing to sell....just convincing us you won`t crash it doesn`t quite impress the old dudes as much as how clean and lubricated, and in good running order you keep your stuff.

if your stuff is nicely maintained, most of them assume you wouldn`t recklessly drive it into a tree *hint hint*

type in "Blue ATC110" in the google window up top and do yer homework...nice machine for sure

Might even further impress him if you knew alot about that model release and how rare it is...so he can see you appreciate how important it is to keep a blue one nice and maintained.

work some majic on him and get back here at least with some pics of it

the tires are shot. they have been flat so long that they got big cracks in them and wont hold air. But next time I go out there I think I will try to get the carb cleaned up and see if I can t get it to pop.
