Vehicle Description
Without a doubt the most unusual item we are offering for auction
is this motortrike based on the back half of a 1973 VW Beetle and
the front half of a Honda motorcycle. The owner built the trike not
only to honor baseball in general and specifically the Boston Red
Sox, it is also to honor a fallen warrior.
The front half was a regular trike owned by a Vietnam vet. The vet
loved motorcycles but due to his wounds, he could no longer ride
one. The vet built himself a trike. After the vet passed the
current owner thought it would be good place to start a
tribute.
One of the most interesting features is the signed baseball
gearshift knob. There is Red Sox legend Rico Petrocelli and
Baseball Hall of Fame Pitcher who played for the Baltimore Orioles
Jim Palmer.
Also, there are the signatures of two women that played in
All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during World War 2
- Shirley Burkovich and Maybelle Blair. Both women were
inspirations for characters in the Tom Hank's film A LEAGUE OF
THEIR OWN.
Whoever buys this trike and uses for whatever promotion or make it
street legal in all states, should keep in mind the heart that went
into building it.
