Chain drive

This thing is in my town and pops up for sale a couple times a year. I've talked to the owner, he thinks it's worth a pile of money.

What a machine! Have you ever made him offers, got any idea of what he thinks it's worth? Sadly, unless it ends up in a museum it would most likely end up as scrap or left to rot. Just not much need or demand for it. Hopefully it finds a home someday.

I messaged him on it a couple years ago and he never got back to me. Then I met him at an auction and he was telling me what a rare gem it was.

That thing looks really big, beat up, hard to drive, and useless as is. Sad that he thinks it is a gold mine.
