Topic: new in NC

[vaskeet]

well I am a old retired sailor USN 1977-1998 My 1st bike was a 1972 Honda CL175 that I bought when I was 16. After a few other bikes I bought my 1st SOHC4 a 1976 CB400f (yellow and Black) . I eventually traded it in on a Brand new 1978 black and orange CB750F (1979 leftover) In 1982 it was stolen and replaced with a 1976 KZ900. Then I got married and life happened. Kept and rode the 900 until 1986. sold it and bought a V45 sabre and later a kawasaki GPZ550.  In 2004 I bought a new kawasaki Concours In 2010 I had a problem with vertigo. and had to stop riding the Doctors said that I would always have the problem, I sold my bikes and quit riding a few years later the inner issue went away I waited a few more years and the problem did not come back so this year I started riding again. A friend gave me a great deal on his 2010 Yamaha FJR 1300, then I found a great deal on 2 honda V65's the sabre is like new (had carb leak) and the magna is a major project or parts bike (have not decided yet). I have always wanted a 1978 CB750F again I have found on (barn find) and made a offer on it It had a custom paint job (silver and blue) that matches the original paint pattern (just different colors). Is there any way to tell what the original colors were? If I get it I will start a restoration thread here is my 1985 Sabre

Welcome aboard vaskeet
Unfortunately if the original color isn't under the tank or side covers, no. There wasn't any designate in the vin. Original title should have the color. Has it always been in NC? If so have the numbers run. Might show up that way.
Otherwise pick your color choice, black or the red.

Its in VA here is what it looks like. Any thoughts on value? Other than the paint and exhaust everything else appeared to be stock and in good shape. It turns over with the kick starter

Howdy! Welcome! 

That looks like a great candidate for revival.

First off, Welcome.  Is also missing the airbox which can make it hard to tune.

If it has a title $1000-1500 [or cheaper] would be a fair deal. 

Clean the tank and carbs, give it a new battery and ignition parts and it should run like new!
