Can anyone tell me any info on this sweet ride???

[Jonlocal328]

Picked this bike up for $50. I've done a bunch of searching on year, make, model, motor size and any other info possible but had no luck. Any help would be much appreciated on these issues. Thanks in advance

Correct, it's a Heald VT-3. First ones were blue, when they changed to red the model became VT-5. Mid 1970's. Tecumseh HS50 (5hp). Looks like the original motor, the numbers on the shroud (likely up top by the spark plug) will help narrow down the timeframe. Nice riding bikes, that one looks pretty complete.
