Can anybody tell me what this is?

[Rbrazel22]

This is auction right now ... I’d like a nice project. Can anybody tell me what it is and are the genders and tank metal or plastic?

Don't know what it is but the tank has a fuel line coming out of it.

Yes thanks I also noticed that.... could still be a plastic shell over a plastic degas bottle type tank

Good point but the gas cap appears genuine/the fuel line however, on second look seems not inline with where a spigot might be found.

You see the silver cap in front of the tank. What’s that then? Any idea

 

[superflea]

It appears to be some kind of cap on the front riser tube either to keep dirt and water out of merely just decorative.

No idea what it is either but you're lucky the bid is up over my limit already, I was going to try to snipe it for the wheels and fenders.

Frame reminds me of a Cushman but I have no idea.

Did you look at it? Are the fenders and tank metal? Yeah it’s pretty high for a roller. Right now

looks like a "copy" of a Powell AV8

It looks like the powell tractor seat.

Don't know, just saw it on the auction site not live.

Looks exactly like the picture above.

 

[mustangfrank]

Well, did you buy it?

I nabbed a snowblower for the engine, I'm gonna see if I can sneak a look at the frame when I go to pick up my item Thursday.

Early 1950s Powell P-81. Had a dry sump engine, frame was the oil tank. Fast machines in their day.

Forgot to follow-up last month, I did get to scope it out, she's genuine. Whatever black primer/paint is on it did make it look fake or plastic in the pictures. Hopefully whoever bought it is gonna finish it, looked like it was never rusty or pitted.
