.1 (sorry)

I would imagine though a "name" 70s single is gotta be worth between $600-$1000 depending on name/condition.

In good condition, lets use Simos 1-100 scale. Lets say MR twin fin late 70s at 75/100 I would think $500-$900. If it was one that he rode during one of his winning years $1000-$2000 maybe.

I was bidding on an old Simon Anderson thruster on eBay a few years ago, the bidding started at $150 and ended at $1200

If the MR had the Superman spray I'd say about $25K at least.

It all depends on the significance of the board in history, Simons original thruster etc. Or a rare logo etc.

If it's just a stock singley or 80's board in great nic maybe $600.

Ive had a few restored old mals that have cost around $300 for the restoration and some old mals by prominent shapers can fetch $1000's so I guess the same would go for shorties.
Many of those late 70's early 80's MR twinnies were made in Byron by ghost shapers and the same for Simon Anderson's boards under the Energy label.
I guess it depends on who,s signature is on the blank.

I agree a decent stock board would fetch around $600.

In the mid 90's I picked up a Lopez gun from a garage sale on Bribie Is from an old couple for $ 15 bucks.
It was in pretty good nick for its age, couple of backyard dings on the rails and the fin was snapped but still hanging by the glass on one side.
It was about 7'6" x 19 x 3 ?? with the biggest chunkiest rails ever seen.
Green spray on the bottom and the famous red lightning bolt in the centre of the deck around the chest area. Pre legrope also Get my drift.
I took it home and did a fin repair in the shed and drilled a hole in the fin for a leggie cord.
Young and DUMB mistake NO 1.
I surfed it for a while, man was it fast but you needed a tugboat to turn it.
Then about 6 months later I got a job offer down south and had move. So even DUMBER Mistake NO 2 I took it along with a whole heap of other stuff to the tip out at Narangba
Being Young 20-21 and a fool i didnt realy know what i had at the time until about 5 years later.
How stupid.

I had a Burton turbo bottom in the early 90s that just went missing during a move, I wish I knew where it was

Man a Lopez gun, I wonder what that would be worth

Just had a look at Zuke's link, now I am even more pissed at myself.

A mate of mine up the road has a mid to late 60's takiama scorpion in fairly good (for age) unrestored condition. He has mentioned a while back he was thinking of off loading it
But I don't think he was to serious at the time, and he probably wont let me get a look in anyway as I know what he got it for, and it was a steal.
