Allstate (puch) 175 "standard" Split-single on 2040-motos

Other 175 Standard description

Original Paint! Not great original paint, but still (Y'all know what they say). In contrast to the "Best," this is the "Better" 175 offered by Sears & Roebuck in the 1950s catalogs. The color is appropriately referenced as "Appliance Blue" by Allstate enthusiasts, but is "Lustrous Medium-Blue" according to the 1954 catalog description. These variations were not nearly as popular as the more well-featured and prettier Deluxe model, and for that reason are significantly more rare. I've seen others on the 'net, but this is the only one I've laid eyes on directly. Note the accessory side-stand - I have never seen another of these, period.

This particular unit runs like a watch; starts, runs, idles, shifts, and stops wonderfully. The tank and carb were completely drained and dried for storage a year or so ago, and will remain that way through this sale. There is no battery installed.

NO TITLE regardless of the ridiculous eBay restriction. NO TITLE; collection or off-public-road use only.

In each and/or every case for shipping or delivery of motorcycle, full payment in cash in USD or bank wire transfer is required prior to the motorcycle release. Turnover will require a signed receipt from shipper on a company letterhead.

Recommend emphatically that buyer be prepared to set up shipping details in total. Access to my shop is very space-limited (not even a large panel truck), but I can meet your shipper at a large big-box store parking lot nearby for 25USD. Otherwise your shipper is responsible for retrieving the bike directly from my shop.

If buyer wishes me to set up the shipping with my shipper, note that the vehicle is a full-sized long-trailer eighteen-wheeler with sleeper tractor. This vehicle is unable to access 1.5 lane roads, sharp turns, dead-ends, downtown metropolitan areas, among others. Buyer may of course meet my shipper at any accessible area. My shipper can take up to eight weeks for delivery, but usually less. !Cost for my arrangement and shipping to lower 48 is 600USD! Again, it is clearly better and less expensive for the buyer to set up shipping.

Thanks much for looking!
