I am looking for a basket case bike. Preferably British, Triumph, BSA, Enfield, etc. Japanese and others OK too but want something older. Not really a Harley guy. Barn find would be good too. If it’s been outside for 30 years, it all needs to be there. I know this is a long shot , but I want a retirement project so I figured I would start looking.

1983 Honda V45 Magna. Not a big project because a lot has been done already. Needs a front tire...it is cracking. Haven't started in a few months, may need carbs cleaned but they were rebuilt less than a year ago. Also rebuilt clutch slave and replaced clutch master at that time. Brakes have less than 100 miles on them. Much more done to it, just stopped riding. Inspection and tags way out of date. Has saddle bags and disc brake lock and helmet lock. $2750

Thanks bronco71 but not what I am looking for. I want an old bike that is setting in someone’s shed/garage/out building that is in pieces or seized and will end up in the dump when the next clean out happens. I will pay a finders fee.

Shout out for Hillcountry Motorheads - Motorcycle Museum
Sounds like you are looking for street bike, but you might contact "Hillcounty Motorheads" 512 553 4078 and ask what he has for sale - he will sell you a barn find if he has one.

Owner there is awesome and if you've never been there - it is one of the best motorcycle museums in the world.
Early motocross years are his primary focus, but he has everything all the way back to the 1920s.

not sure if this link will work but give it a shot:

No idea how much $$$$ he would sell for, but he has always say he would sell it if someone wanted it.
Last I heard all the parts are there - stopped running due to bad carb rebuild so he bought it for practically nothing.
I was there today so I took a pic for you.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up. I will try the guy and see what’s up with it.

Still looking

How about a 4 wheeler project? I have a 2009 Suzuki 400, that lost compression.
