    CT 70 Noob

    New guy here, I have had CT70s many years ago (45) and was talking to a guy about finding an older one for my granddaughter.

    He just so happened to have a few that he was getting ready to part out. He had four he would let me have for $250.

    Well, now I have a truck load of what I hope will be at least one beater for her to learn on.

    Three are pretty complete (if you include the boxes of parts).

    Is there any one that may have more value that the others, or should I just get the best frame and start there?

    Serial numbers:

    241023 1/71 build
    2711015 6/71 build
    attached are a few pics.

    Thanks,
    Rick

    Rick,
    You've got a great start there. You should be able to easily put together a rider out of the parts you aquired. The KO (1/71) might draw the best resale value. There are a lot of reusable parts in there.

    Find out her favorite color and go from there. This can be THE most important thing for any female. My wife really wants a blue one and so far we have 1 bright yellow, 1 tahitian red, and 2 candy ruby red.
    Professional driver. Closed course.
