SOLD $9100
Just as I finish lamenting declining Interceptor values in my previous post, I found this recent sale on Bring-a-Trailer. Featured is Honda's first Interceptor, a 1983 VF750F in blue & white showing only 8794 miles.

This example is a two-owner from California, the seller having purchased it from the original owner ten months ago. The many detailed photos indicate a very nice survivor with just enough patina to show its originality. The frame doesn't show the typical Gen 1 surface rust while the black chrome mufflers are as nice as you'll find outside a museum. Some essential maintenance has been completed but the bike is still wearing nearly 40-year old tires, which shows the very low usage in that time. These bikes were susceptible to the infamous cam wear issues, but the seller includes closeup photos of the lobes and describes them as "pristine."
The selling price reflects a bit of a bidding war, increasing $3000 in the last few hours of the auction.
Included in the listing is a nice little video (below) of this bike running LA's famous Mulholland Drive.
