That bike is soo far original. I cant stand when people make up stories to try and help sell something they have. It looks like a project that was never finished, only a few years ago. Not 40 lol.

The only way to make it a 4-5k bike is to strap an envelope with $2000 or more to the seat. The story is BS, I predict it will not go over $2000.

either that or something he stole or got paid in trade.
that story sounds wack......and theres no way that bike sat under tarps anywheres.

my guess on sale is 1,202.50

Can anyone find something wrong with it. as far as original. It doesn't look like original paint. Could be the light in pics. what do you guys think?

Show me any seat that has sat under a tarp for 40years that looks like that when pulled out. Even after a good cleaning. I call BS on most of the story!
To me that looks like a bike that has been in the works for a long time.

I say ran out of money and instead of mom going mad at dad. It's wife going crazy on husband!

I do believe the part that the bike was original to the family. But there was money stuck into it after it was pulled from any type of tarp. That's for sure.

Bike is cool! His sign is going for crazy money!

I also say it gets pulled!

My biggest problem with this story is the air cleaner. It's so dirty and rusty and the engine is as well... and the chrome still looks like that? Something doesn't mesh up with the story
