Hi Salty,<br /> The KD4 Rockets are decent motors, but a couple things to look for. Are the "bra cup" spark plug covers present? Is the carburetor shroud present? These are the commonly missing parts. I've seen similar model motors with $50.00 prices at swap meets go unsold. There's quite a few around so most collectors know that if they pass on the pricey one, a cheaper one will turn up. If it has all the parts, I'd offer $50-$75...<br />- Scott

Hi Salty,<br /> Something that vintage is in that gray area between modern and classic. In good tune it's worth more to someone wanting inexpensive power than it is to a collector. If it's a freshwater motor, runs good and has a tank to go with it, you'd probably get $300-$400 in my area come April/May...<br />- Scott
