I have a person that would like to buy it before it is cleaned. It is missing the handle bars, one brake, one brake lever, seat and sissy bar. I'm sure he has these parts. I also have most of the parts to complete but the bars. I just want a honest value of the bike.

I would not sweat the bars, pedals are wrong but not that hard to find. The Ramshorn used rat traps. I would think at least $250 in this condition.... Just my 2 cents. Cleaning it up is not that tough. Will never be a show bike unless new chrome and lots of $. Pretty sure it is a 68 too. 68's are a little more rare since 67 was the big production year of the Ramshorn. Someone else might think this is crazy high or even crazy low but the black original paint ones don't show up much. The Coopertone, Blue and Campus show up much more often.... Hope this helps.

If he does not offer that I will fix it up. I have nice fenders, sissy bar and really nice seat for it.

I's an awesome find, but if you're not going to build it, I'd sell the pieces.

I'd buy the frame, fork, and guard if you want to part it out, I'd even throw in a violet Ramshorn frame, fork, and guard if the price was right..

It all depends on what a friend of mine offers for it today. It will be sold though as is. Ken your offer sound tempting to but have to see what the guy offers first.
