1958 Parilla MSDS Gran Sport1958 Parilla MSDS Gran Sport

This is an extremely rare Parilla racer with a 175 Hi-Cam motor,located in Brooklyn,New York.  The link will take you to the eBay listing.  It seems like a lot of Parillas are changing hands over the last couple of months —this one is a particularly original and exotic example of a rare brand.

The listing has an excellent description.  The highlights:

  • gears shift through
  • tank has no dents. paint in great shape but has minimal wear and tear despite its age
  • super clean,no rust ANYWHERE!!
  • seat and muffler are NOT Parilla. i have no idea what they are
  • included is the orig air pump
  • 1,401 orig. miles!!!

Bike has a known history.  It hasn’t been running and has been inside for 1961.  If it’s going to be operated,you’ll probably have to go through it.  This would be a tough call.  Museum or get it on the road?

Owner will entertain all questions.  There is obviously no title.  There’s a day and a half left with zero bids (minimum bid is $8000).  While I’m convinced that small-displacement bikes are going to be huge over the next few years,I think it might still be a little early…
