I finally scored my 3rd Bird , Dallas Craigs List . It's all there minus original seat and rubber brake pad , good chrome , shocks work too . The bike comes with 2 Predators , the one on it and another good one too ! I tried to talk him into just selling the roller but no go . All good though , the mini , extra Predator and yes he has the original fenders too , they're just not on the bike , $250 ! I already have one Predator sold for $75 , so I'm in $175 , I'm gonna put a Tecumseh on it and keep it as a survivor !
My Buddy Bob that owns the Hunting Ranch In Seymour Tx happened to be in Dallas today so I lucked up as he's picking it up this evening for me :thumbsup:

yes I did chipper......it needed work......and I am into powells, bonanzas and totes......I have a few parts left........and I thought the pipe was pretty cool too...........anyway, if you don't have it on your rear fender, give me a holler......be happy to see it go to someone who wants to keep his bike original............:wink::wink:

Yeah, no Nanza's down here.
There was one flaky dude in Huntville who didn't know what he had.
Must of been something special as, I got a couple pm's from some Nanza hoarders wanting to know how far for me to get it.
Finally disappeared. That's the only one I have seen in thre years of ijtense searching.

Got to my shop this morning and there was my new El Tigre , the spare motor that came with it , Brand New Predator in the box ! The one on it is clearly new as well too ! , The box of parts had the fenders ( black ) I guess they were painted at some point , under seat header w/muffler and air filter set up , original back wheel and sprocket ( he had changed that for some reason ?
2-Predator $210
1- air-filter $30
1-header $40
that's $280 so the guy gave me the mini + $30 , SWEET :thumbsup:
I'll get some pics up later
