It looks like the front end was the trailer and he had to hacksaw it off. Yikes.
I hope it was free-fifty-free because that sucker's going to require some serious work.

I think you should keep the green on the sprocket cover.

Wow.. I commend you on having serious vision, if you can envision that thing being completely restored.

It was probably conceived from an old Popular Mechanics magazine.  There were plenty of them rotting away in the shed next to where the Honda had been sitting since 1986.  A Can-Am it was never going to be.  But having a clean title and hopefully a solid frame, it was a good place to start for $ 60.00  I will continue to post detailed photos of the disassembly and clean up.

Best regards,

Jeff

It's worth $60 even if all you can get from it is the titled head tube.   Still, should have kept the 3 wheeler part :)
