Heading over to possibly this CT1, always loved the green ones. Value? Needs restoration.

I saw that one on marketplace too, it's been around at least a few weeks (so I think you could get it for less) I picked up a much cleaner '73 CT3 for $300 ten miles south of Redding in 2019. But times are always changing. Seems high to me with the amount of rust and corrosion, and missing the front fender. It looks like a money pit to me, compared to spending ~1500 on a cleaner one, but as always ymmv.

As it happens I'm going through Redding tomorrow, if you want it and he is responsive and it's out of the way for you, I could put the hitch rack on the car.

Darinm, thanks for the offer! Where you located? I'm in Eureka. But I have a 69 DT1 and 70 DT1-CM i wanted some of the parts, but after further research I found the CT175 and DT250 parts don't cross over. I did find a DT250 I was going to possibly buy but they guy dropped the listing after I asked if I could buy it for $400, he was asking $650-similar condition but a 10 hour drive (round trip in Olivehurst, CA).

I added up what I thought it would cost me to get it to a good clean bike, about $3,000. If it has a title, maybe $300

Live in Mt Shasta, but have some work in Chico so back and forth a fair bit. The guy in Olivehurst might have done a delete and relist, saw it's up again; www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2323793171397634

Sure is a haul down there too.

The link you sent does not work? When you get a chance check it again. Thinking I should just buy it, it has the parts I need but not excited about the 10 hour drive. I just drove home to Eureka yesterday 13.5 hours. The gold DT partially disabled? 

Correct, not sure why the link doesn't want to work for you but it's a gold '69 DT250 partially disassembled down in Olivehurst. Looking closer he has it listed twice;
