Unless you are doing the paint and plating yourself, that figure is a bit low. Factor in serious motor and/or tranny work, and the costs can easily be double that $2500.

Correct me if I am wrong but a rough number for a decent restoration (doing a lot of the assembly yourself) runs about $2500-$3000. That includes purchase price of the "barn queen".
I remember a few years ago I could have bought a decent running Eldo for $1200.
To me what will be significant is when the supply of restorable Loops disappear. Not a lot of people are interested in a $10k restored bike but lots are interested in fixing them up and getting them running.
Could we call the Loop the "garage mechanic's" bike of choice?

T3 (or really any other Guzzi) my heart has been drawn to the Ambo/Eldo for 10 years since I first laid eyes on one.
Thanks again for all your help.

The Guzzibug has a mighty strong venom!!!
Keep your eyes open and stop at yard sales. An early Guzzi will turn up for you......
