Thanks Clarence, I wondered if that was what you had . $ 89.95 for the Kit. How much was an Ace 100 in 68?

Kc, as I remember Ace 100s sold for less than $500. In 1965 I think dealer cost on a 90 was $285 plus $10 freight. We tried to mark them up about $100. To put things in perspective in 1966 I ordered a new 66 Stingray 427 Corvette at a discounted price of $4997. (lotsa payments!) Almost everyone could afford a shiny new Hodaka in those days.

Kc I dumped all my records about 6 years ago. I thought what are the kids going to do with this stuff, as remember a 68 ace 100 would have been about $380 + or - agreeing with max. I marked the parts up but about 30%. Max my corvette was a 1959 black with red Up I bought it used in about 1969 for $600.00 all the kids I sold a hodaka are still lifetime friends. I saved a couple of my last receipt books when I see them I found them . !973 I sold a ossa pioneer for $1040, 4-25-73 a B+ for $495 dang he also got a new rear tire and grips for that price. 4-20 73 a used ace90 for $200, a 100B for $495, I will try and find a rat price. 125 wombat$575, 2-19-1971 Super Rat B41716 M3030 $ 450, On 3-7-71 I sold a ace 100 92A did you see a 92A for $375. 100B-379,100B $402, M6409 superrat 6-7-71 $550 I had to take a trade on this one ??
