I thought I saved the pictures from the ad but I can't find them now. The bike was pretty rough and I looked into the resale market on them and it looked pretty weak, near flawless original bikes going for just a few grand. It seems the pushrod motors are the least desirable from a collector standpoint but one guy speculated that since they are the least desirable at the moment many of them will be parted out and the survivors may end up bringing big money some day.

Yup. Some things are valuable just because they are old and oddballs.
The pushrod models are oddballs, for sure. Not exciting bikes in their own right, but if you've got an old Ducati single that is running well and looks ok, you'll eventually make your money off it no matter what.
And yes, the people pulling them apart don't hurt the resale over time.
I am hoping the scarcity of the parallel models eventually helps the value...lol

Honestly, if it's your first vintage ducati, I'd say steer clear unless you have the patience of the gods. Those old engines are true artisan engines -- all hand fitted and assembled. Assembling one is a giant pain.

Nice bike Spike! Now get your traitor ass outta here.
If the only reason for selling the Duc was limited garage space you can stay..........

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

All of them are going to be headaches more or less, but the later bevels less so.
Squarecase twins can be found for cheap enough in restorable condition. The singles are less desirable, but parts sourcing is much harder.
A few years ago, a bunch of Swiss milsurp Condors came over, they were selling for around $3500. Single springhead Ducati 350cc. Perfect condition.
I sold my Darmah SS for just under 10,000. Fully original, running condition. I saw restorable nonrunning ones in the 3000-4000 range. Finding parts is $$$
The single might be your cheapest entry, but finding parts is going to be hard.

I have seen several of those condors up close and personal when I was playing with Swiss military Pinzgauers. Kinda wanted one and could have snapped one up for $1,500. Thankfully the owner who had bought several for resale told me about how darn difficult it was and that I should run away screaming. He was gonna lose money on those bikes and knew it. Luckily I was providing some help with the Red Bull Pinzgauer and he felt he should not screw me over. For what it is worth he was notorious for screwing people over so I felt quite fortunate to have kept my money.
