I have a chance on a 1963 Mach1 that is a barn find. Hasn't run in 40 years and is complete right down to saying Pirelli on the fuel line. Has anybody seen one in the states or was this only in europe? I was told the original owner bought it in 63, then road it till 65 and parks it. How do I find the parts it needs. I plan to restore it this winter just need some connections. Nate |

There is a good source of parts for Ducati singles in Europe but I don't know of any on the US so you may need to do some 'distance shopping'. Engine parts are easy to come by but chassis and running gear may prove slightly more difficult. Try here: http://www.classicducati.com/ http://www.discovolantemoto.co.uk http://www.laceyducati.co.uk/ducati-parts/ http://www.ducatimeccanica.com/ Good luck |

You might check out Ducati Singles by MotoScrubs... http://www.motoscrubs.com/ Their links include Restoration and Repair resources. I just ran across them so I have no experience with them, but their site looks promising. |

that's a very desirable model, easily $5k if complete, nearer to $10k if 100% fresh |
