OSSA Phantoms are truly great bikes but boy, this one sure needs some love and attention. I reckon the tank might even be toast looking at the spider web cracks in it. The throttle looks savable though .

The Price looks sensible thou Firko so you can afford to throw a few bucks at her plus it is a runner

Phantom that complete and running worth restoring but want

PRICE will it pull        

My guess $2200

my how times change,remember that complete tatty red desert phantom couple years back,no bids at U$750,relisted buy now,sold for U$799,geezas i didn't have the money at the time,was sorely tempted,since then all the US ossa stuff has been overpriced shite,ie,case in hand??,

Yeh Mick

What is going on with the Ossa brand just a few years ago could not give them away then last week the Silver frost special 4 speed MX over here sells for $3000

Then on the race tracks around Aus maybe 4  are out of the sheds being used

A mate gave me a 6 days years ago, it was disassembled and left in the elements.

i stripped the crankcases down, totally unaware of the shims issue and chucked em all into a box!

When i found out the significance of the bloody things i was distraught. Then i got quotes for parts...

Then i saw a road regoed one for sale for $1K so i gave it away for $100 bucks kind of wished i had hung on to it

maybe the new surge in OZ Dirt Track is moving them up and on

I well remember that red OSSA Mick, my trigger finger was hovering around the Buy it Now button but somebody (possibly Jim) had told me that you were bidding on it so I backed away. It turned out that we both missed it

At $1000 U.S. now + $1000 shipping (depending on where u are) + easy $2000 resto = $4000.......pass.

I can't see how $4k is too much for a good/great pre75 250 that is ready to race. Good green stripes get that and sometimes more.

Yeah that was a real dumb post, but I might have been a bit optomistic with the $2k resto...

Final Price of the Phantom

4 bids
Winner $1376 US

Lot less than my guess          

Cheers

That's a pretty good buy. You could tidy that bike enough for race conditions for probably $1500 or in a good presentable condition for $2500 so you'd still be under 5k for a the classic OSSA.

Agree a Phantom is the best race bike Ossa made over the years

Worth a place in most VMX Sheds
