Guest Richard A Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Went to look at a vintage BMW motorcycle and came home with the bike and this WAY COOL 1931 Rockne. What a great barn find. The owner said it hasn't been driven for a few years...has a 2016 plate on it?? I am showing a picture of the 1958 Arizona title, so it's been in Tucson at least that long...and it shows it..virtually rust free!! It looks very complete. I don't have the time or desire to restore this old gent ...but someone will. According to the Rockne Registry there were 24,000 of these made and only 230 are known to exist today (Worldwide). They were only made for 2 years.Not looking for trades. Thanks, Richard 520-240-3525 Tucson, Arizona Serial # 14916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Doesn't look to me that it needs any restoration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlightcoupe Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Arizona registered it as a 1931 but, Rockne production started in December 1931 with the 1932 Model 65, of which this is an example. The vinyl seat covers may hide something nasty; or they may have protected the original upholstery. If it is not a repaint, could be a true survivor, in which case a restoration should be discouraged, and the asking price is probably right in the ballpark. This is one that should be personally viewed before the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
