Wow, based on the condition of that Bronco, they should be paying you to haul it away! 
It looks like the seller priced the bike at "Fair" condition value based on NADA pricing guide. 
Fair — A motorcycle that is worthy core for restoration. This would exclude machines with major frame and engine modifications that would be cost prohibitive to return to original specifications. All mechanical and cosmetic aspects of the machine will need attention in the restoration process. This is a complete motorcycle with most if not all of its body, engine and suspension components intact, albeit in poor condition. *Motorcycles with missing engines or major components are commonly referred to as “parts bikes” and are not covered in this category.

Howdy,

I found a 1962 Ducati Bronco on the local FB marketplace.  It is said to run after just a few kicks, but the owner said he didn?t watch it shift through gears.  It was run via an external tank, so I am imagining a tank cleaning will be the first thing.

The owner has the original paperwork from when it was bought in 1962 and a Title.  Cosmetically it appears to be extremely worn but original.  Seat is in rough shape, but from pics I found on line, it looks like the original seat. I think the wheels are close to being done for from corrosion, but I?ll know more tomorrow when I see it in person.  It looks like the tinwork is all there.  I?ve found limited info on line, but overall, it just seems like it would be fun to tinker with in the garage.  I scheduled to check it out tomorrow afternoon.

Here is the ad if you want to take a look.

My goal would be to get it ridable and mechanically sound as possible.  Maybe some point down the road consider a restoration of some sort.  I really like the tank for some reason.

Does anyone had any idea on possible value?  I don?t know if it is really worth a couple hundred bucks or if he has it priced fairly at $1000.    I figure a running engine in and of itself has some value to me from a tinkering in the garage perspective.

Any comments or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Staton

Larry,

Thanks, I'll charge him a hundred and see what happens, lol.

Fair by that definition seems appropriate.

Thanks!
