I've made a good profit on every older ATV that I've bought. Make it perfect, people will pay a premium. 1 Polaris and 2 Arctic Cats.

Welcome from Colorado. You will have to start a "build" thread and document your project as you take this old girl apart and refurbish it. I'm sure some folks will follow along and give you some helpful advice.

Not only that but if and when you decide to sell it you will have the perfect showing of how carefully you rebuilt the entire machine, save all your receipts and you should certainly find a buyer willing to pay a premium for a completely rebuilt machine.
