Hi, everyone. I wanted to ask does know what a 1970s Carabella looks like? Does anyone know if it is a car or a motorcycle? I’ve found no information on the thing so far. ---

Google “Carabela” (note 1 “l”) and post a link to one that looks like the one you’re interested in. All the ones I found are motorcycles. Why do you ask? ---

Just Google “carabella motorcycles” for more info. “Carabela was a Mexican motorcycle company that made small bore motorcycles and mopeds . . .” ---

I am handling a deceased family members estate, and the person that died was disorganized and left terrible records. I know the object exists because I found a title for it that says it is a “MC” on the title (that means motorcycle I think). I did Google it and that came up with some results, but that isn’t really too specific about it. I wanted to see if I could figure out what looks like so I can find the bike. ---

I am not an expert on motorcycles, but I suggest a small motorcycle, 40 years old, may not be worth worrying about, unless by some strange quirk it has become a collector’s item. ---

You found the title but you may never find the bike…Everyone should learn that when you die, your relatives (or someone) will transfer most of your belongings to a big roll-off dumpster labeled “This Was Your Life”… ---
