Welcome to The Vintage Ride.  I restore and sell vintage cars and motorcycles

I specialize in BMW airheads ranging from the 50’s to the last model in 1996.. The quality of the parts and the slower assembly times used in that era produced some amazing cars and bikes and many examples are still on the road today some seven decades later.

The R-26

This bike was purchased in Florida. It had matching numbers, the engine ran and except for a few pieces, everything was there and original.  However, after 50+ years, it obviously needed a total restoration. I began disassembling the bike in June 2015 and it was completed two years later. My R26 was profiled in the 2017 Summer issue of The Classic BMW Motorrader Magazine.

Update 10/5/23 - the R-26 has been sold

The Volvo PV-444

The PV-444 was Volvo's first entry into the US market and it was a good one.  I have replaced the floor pans, shocks, engine mounts, transmission mount, clutch lever and bushings, added front and rear stabilizer bars from IPD, a custom Interior,  both carbs and the distributor were rebuilt in July 2017.  New coil springs front and rear and a new radiator were recently installed.

The asking price for the PV-444 is $9,000

Update 10/5/23 - The Volvo has been sold
