Just curious - brand new ATC's

[UlsterATCFan]

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has ever come across / heard about brand new ATC's still being found in their shipping crates? When was one last 'discovered'? Or is this the stuff of urban legend and never again will one be found brand new??

There is a guy in wales who has brand new TRIZs im told,
But he wont sell them.

[UlsterATCFan]

Thats ironic cos I bought my 70 in Wales - its not new but not far off!
Bet he'd sell them TRIZ's for the right money, every man has his price

Here in TN they found an 87 200x brand new still in the crate. They had a fire in the end of 1987 and moved 90% of their undamaged stock in to this huge warehouse. After rebuilding the shop, they moved only 1/2 the stock back and left the rest for later. Since then, they had constantly filled the warehouse with stock and forgot about a few items. In 2001 they found this crate under tons of "junk". Come to find out it was a brand new 87 200x. It was sold later that month for 3500$ to an unknown collector. And YES they could still sell the trike off the showroom, but as a "used" vehicle. It was pretty cool for sure.

85 or 86 R was just cold out of Jersey still in the crate last year. The stuff is still out there!!! I found my Tiger 250 at the original dealers shop last year. Not in the crate but never sold and just stored around as a "demo" click link in sig for more info.

In 1997 I personally saw two 86 250R's in the original box/crate for $2k each in palm springs, ca. Yes I kick myself when I think about them!

in 2000 i saw a 87 tecate in a crate ,, it was being transported by dirt-n-dune to a collector on the east coast,,,

[UlsterATCFan]

AWESOME to hear that brand new trikes are still being found guys, I'd give my left testicle for a brand new '85-'87 250ES big red and a brand new '85 70 - theres basically zero chance of finding them here in the UK, you guys don't know how lucky you are, the big reds I see on the US ebay site have me drooling cos theyre so clean and well kept! If I lived there I'd spend every penny I earn on trikes lol. Well if anyone comes across a split new one of the above please let me know, thanks lads

I saw a new ATC70 in germany about 4 years ago still in the crate....guy wanted £2500 ($5000)for it back then but by the time i emailed him it was sold!!!!

[Tri-ZNate]

I believe Hagen (greenboy) in germany has a tri-z in the crate

[250rfan]

Hey Ulster,

Am with you on this one, the trikes across the pond are far superior to the used stuff available in the UK. Plus they have the land to ride them on!.......

I would be really interested in a crated 85 ATC 70 or even a mint one especially in blue:naughty: ,,,,,as would Pete am sure:D :D

[3Razors]

Imagine what kind of coin a blue christmas special atc70 in the crate would bring? Who knows one may still be out there

[Brockey]

There was [ics pf the crate tri z on this site not too long ago.

[brapp]

i know its not a atc 70 but a local guy has a in the crate chromed out z 50 christmas special i am not shur eof the year but i wanna say 83-85ish but someoen has to know what i am talkign about.

[blue27]

1986 Z50 Chrome Special, what a cool little bike

[The Goat]

the local dealer sold off their stock of engines and bikes in late 1997....I was too young at the time for anyone to clue me in.

[mikeyb716]

Hey goat, This might be a rumor but I heard a guy in your state by the name of gonzales has quit a few old bikes and trikes still in crates. I think at one point he had maybe still has a dealership around N.O.

Hey Ulster,

Aye its just about impossible to find mint trikes over here, don't know what it is but people in the States just seem to look after things much better. Like I say one look at ebay in the US and theres loads of really nice clean trikes, the UK site has half a dozen clapped out dung-heaps. The exception being my 70 (heres a pic) which miraculously turned up on ebay one day, how often do you see them on UK ebay in this condition? Once in a blue moon (and it cost me £350 thats $700 for our American buddies). Tell you what, you yanks have it good - cheap houses, cheaper fuel than us and superb TRIKES. God Bless the USA :TrikesOwn

Saaweeet!!!, if you decide to sell let me know....:Bounce ,, hey whats happened to clubatc site?

[UlsterATCFan]

I'd sell my soul before I'd sell that trike, its a true 'keeper' - no idea about clubatc, don't think I've been on that one. So how comes your on line, not skiving off in work are you?? I am lol

[250rfan]

[BigRed_Ryno]

Well Wad emailed me earlier an said the site'll be back up by the end of the week. I remember in '97 there being 2 BRAND NEW Tri-z's over my uncles garage, got them at some car auction or something. wasnt really old enough to appreciate them then, but they were sure shiney!
