Our local scrap yard has one in the back row with other vintage tractors, it's fairlt complete, not sure how much they want for it, but I know it's not cheap.

There are usually a few in attendance at the local NAMA show:

I had a chance to buy a 3 wheeler for scrap price about 20 years ago but there were a few parts missing - including the cylinder head. Unfortunately it got hauled away and melted down. :disgust:

From what I understand those things will do 40mph in top gear. I heard a story one time of a family decided to move out west loaded up the hay wagon and used a brand new Silver King to pull it.

I used to play in a community band in Ohio after i gradgitated high school and we used to do a parade every year in Plymouth, Oh they would get in over 50 of the Silver Kings and put them at the front of the parade
