I may be able to pick up an '82 ELR from the original owner, a friend of mine. The bike has been in an accident that bent the rear shock and megaphone on the right side. I don't know the extent of the damage to any other parts of the bike, like the rear sub frame or swing arm. This was done fairly early on in the game. After replacing the shocks and pipe, he rode it for years afterwards up until '05, when he bought a new ZRX to ride. This guy rides hard and is no stranger to setting a bike up to rail at high speeds. I'm thinking if anything was wrong with the frame/chassis, it would have be brought to light and corrected long ago.
So now the '82 has been ridden by his brother on occasion, enough to keep it running and not rotting.
I've not seen the bike, but it is garage kept. From his description, not what I would call pristine.
I'm thinking if you scaled it on a 1-10, maybe a 6 or 7. Don't know yet.
reason for sell is he was in a pretty bad accident earlier this year on an '05 ZRX that I sold him.
He's pretty banged up and it has taken a lot out of him at 62 years old.

but among friends and such and going dollar rate and need...so many factors
mcdroid is right it is the holy grail
there is one here that has all paperwork and is pristine with extras and one owner..
i barley got a rise when i offered him 10 cash...but he did look to be thinking $$$$ some for a brief second...
i do not have the drive to purchase at present and could not justify so much
but they can be walked onto for 2000----3500----7500 etc...etc...very few sitting tucked away...but you did find one...so did i....there for sure is others
