Pretty neat 3 wheeler day.

So,,I spotted a 1980 ATC 185 on CL last week. Called the guy,made a deal. Picked it up today. Def not a NOS find! But a damn nice solid start. All there except seat. Has a 83 185 S front on it : ((((((. But,,it IS a 1980 ATC 185 !! Anyhow,we meet ,and I pay him and we load it in the truck. He wanted to keep the rear tires,which were mudders. I said fine, So,,I have this old 3 wheeler with no seat,recoil off,no tires on the rear etc.. We're walking out of the hospital and my wife says. You know How many people think that is JUNK in the back of the truck!? I said yep. Too bad for them. We get in,and there's a note under the windshield wiper. If you will sell this,,PLEASE call me!!! I said,,Guess I'm not the only one. I have to call him when I get around to it,because he obviously knows what he's looking at.. Could have flipped it in a half hour. Then got a 87 Big Red tonight : ))

first year of the larger engines. Biggest engine offered at the time, truly the "hot-rod" of its time. The plastics were orange, and it was the only year on the large frame. 185s is a bit smaller, the next year 200's were built on the older 185 frame.
