Saw this for sale from from guy I know. Says it's a 70 cb750. Has an interesting body kit. Anything special?

Not really, it's a cool period piece but not highly collectible or valuable.

That bike would be worth much more in stock cond.

I would appreciate it more if it were a solid color, and not in conjuction with the long chopper forks, apes, and sissy bar two up seat.

Also, tank size seems smallish for my preference.

When you can find them the Tracy bodies are between $300-$500, and they are desirable and few and far between. If the price were right I would buy one and I don't even own a CB.

That bike could easily go back to stock. If they are solid those pipes have lots of value. How much are they asking for it?
