Click on image for the eBay link What: 1985 VF1000R (project)
Where: Pepperell, Massachusetts
Why: Nice example, but….
Price: eBay auction
Up for a project? No, not the Swamp Thing, or someone's freshly crashed "streetfighter." This one is a nicely presented square-headlight 1985 model (with a round-light '86 paint job) showing only 16,020 miles and several desirable upgrades already accomplished, including suspension, exhaust, paint and brake lines. The elephant in the room is the oil dripping out of the head gasket area of #2 cylinder. Not being a VF guy, I'm not sure if this requires an engine removal, but it will be an involved repair in any case. If you're up for it you'll be rewarded with a very pretty big-block V4 with lots of miles in its future. Bidding is at $1763, reserve not met, with four days left in the auction.
