 Be fun to see where it ends with a starting bid of 99 cents.

Not much meat on those bones. Maybe $150 for those carbs. All the good stuff is gone, and I bet it'd cost more than it's worth in the end to try to resurrect that thing.

 That appears to be an early head, early 73 maybe?  If it was easy driving distance I'd throw a bid out there.

What does an early 73 head look like ?

What you see if what I have. This was a complete bike at onetime.

Really?  I thought is was a special model.

It looks like a collector and maybe the wheels in one of the pics, quiet a big there actually .
 It's an early 73 .

Early 73 uses a 71, 72 style head. OLD SCRAMBLER,  s has that.. mine does not and mine is before mid 73.
 They may have had 2 lines running with the different head being used up on one .
 If that is the case, then  they may not have ended  at a certain number,, i.e.  some early head may have still came out After the switch..

What's the take-off from the crankcase oilway? It appears to have a cable connected to it.

The tappet covers are worth the opening price. I see an air fork conversion too, and the 4:1 silencer has a nice shape. Maybe there are other good things for someone to find
