I will just leave this here


 
That grill looks unsalvageable but I'll lay odds you guys get stuff like this done. Amazes me. But then I wish I had before photos of my Moto Guzzi when brought home this burned, scorched, chassis and basket after basket of parts. Talk about a labor of love. I wanted a Guzzi so darn badly. I cannot begin to describe the level of work and labor over the next year that had to go into that big sled. But, I was younger and full of fire in my belly that really wanted one. And sadly now I cannot find a photo of it :( But if I do I will show

Once I get my paws on it we shall see. A lot of the bad spots look pretty good in that (albeit crappy) pic. To me that one looks like it may be one hell of a candidate for a high-end restoration!
 
Cody,
This looks like an extra fun one to go all out on! Look forward to seeing what you can do for them. I am sure it will be a blessing.

That's a very early Genesis 1 (maybe 87 or 88) with the wide slats and metal bracket for the fuel gauge. Let me know if you need a replacement decal for that. I have made ones for the early Genesis grills.

I ordered an extra one of those from you already in hopes another one of these beauties fell into my lap! 😃
 
Glad you are covered, Cody! I have a Medicare card now, so my memory is subject to intermittent failure😫. Looking forward to seeing that one brought back👍.
 
I was pretty happy to get full asking price for the Q I listed just shy of two weeks ago! Nice older (than me) guy that was pretty stoked to get a Q! I felt bad afterward thinking that I should have thrown him a 10er back to buy him a thermometer for it, but I sounded like he was planning on it anyways. I held firm to my price just to cover the $145 photo speeding ticket I got while picking up the 'free' grill....

I was beginning to worry with no 'bites' for almost two weeks.... but he contacted me last night and picked it up this morning. I figured I had priced it 'reasonably' based on what was showing on CL/FBM/OU --- most of them weren't even cleaned - some missing tables - one missing the lid handle....

I'm gonna leave the ad up for a while and see how long it takes for another 'interest' response out of curiosity.
 
A beautiful Silver A!!!! I am almost tempted since I cut my teeth on a Spirit 500 that I bought in '97 and ran til 2013 (?) and quite honestly - I didn't know what the hell I was doing back then..... It would be fun to learn how to really cook on a Silver A again - but the herd is already up to six and it has to be something special to earn a spot ---- the Q just earned spot #6.

 
That does not appear to be the "Slate" with the newer process griddle plate supposedly rust proof or such. That being said IMO there are better ones for $250. If it was $150? Yeah maybe. Though I have looked at one of those in person and was underwhelmed with it. Finding it quite flimsy feeling

I don’t disagree with that assessment, Larry. I have seen the slates in person and they are far more robust and come packed full of accessory options where these are pretty plain Jane.
