Identification help!

Hello everyone,

I just registered here and need help identifying this item and put some type of value on it to list it for sale.

Im thinking it’s a motorcycle sidecar but can’t find any info or comparisons to go by.

Maybe I’m wrong,and it’s part of an old amusement park ride ??

It measures 78” long x 21 1/2” wide x 15  1/2” deep

Im in Montana.Feel free to text,call,or leave message here.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Tom,

What's left of the sidecar body you have is "similar" to a Steib TR500.  BUT, it appears that someone welded on new side panels that don't quite match the original shape.  The link will take you to a page about current accurate repro versions of that sidecar.

The only panel that looks really right is the curved piece on top of the nose.  I really can't see anyone taking this on as a project.  Buying the pieces and doing to work to bring this back will cost nearly as much, or maybe more than, a new repro.  Still, there's always someone who wants a challenge.

Your post was moved here as your project is not yet for sale.  If you want to sell it, you must include a price and the location of the item.

Good luck!

Thanks for your reply.Yes I agree in the amount of work involved with this!

It will most likely end up on Craigslist .

Be well -
