[mford]

Just picked this up is it a Rupp Hustler or Scrambler ? I don't know if its all original the engine is a HS50 serial I don't think the rear fender and bracket are correct.

What about the rear fender shouldn't it be painted and have the support coming from the seat. ?

 

[cheezy1]

It could be not painted also....and yes there is a bracket from under the seat pan missing.

Am I correct its a 1971 and the color would be metallic Blue ?
