Vtg 1983 BELL MOTO 3 YELLOW MOTORCYCLE HELMET 7 1/4 58 Racing Full Face USA RARE
Bell has been famous for producing high quality motorcycle helmets for over 50 years. Their top of the line "Moto 3" of the late 1970s and early 1980s was arguably the best of its day, and today, any Bell Moto 3 helmet remains highly collectible. This Vintage 1983 BELL MOTO 3 YELLOW MOTORCYCLE HELMET is in good condition, with some scattered loosening to the interior front jaw padding, a small tear to the interior left jaw padding, some scattered scratching and surface chipping around the exterior, some scattered nicking to the designs at the jaw and lower back, some scattered brownish soiling to the lining, some dings to the styrofoam interior crown pad, a tear to the bottom left corner of the "SNELL" tag inside, and with some overall age wear evident (most pictured).
Otherwise, the helmet is in fine shape, with no other damage, and retains approximately 80% of the original glossy yellow exterior finish. Most interestingly, it's a Size 7 1/4 (58 centimeters), bears the classic small oval "BELL" maker's tag at front, and carries "MOTO 3" emblazoned in black at each side of the jaw, with three trailing black racing stripes culminating in a "BELL / SNELL DOT APPROVED" information decal at the lower back. The helmet boasts the original dual metal "D" ring buckle closure black leatherette and nylon chinstraps, sports the traditional black rubber edge rim and black velour lining, and is stamped "BELL / MOTO / STAR III / USA" on the right chinstrap, along with the date, "7 83" (July 1983). It exhibits most of the familiar tagging around the inside, and is a fine example of a rare, original Vintage 1983 BELL MOTO 3 YELLOW MOTORCYCLE HELMET.
