Normally I would put this in the "for sale" section but this is special!

This guy has been letting go of his extensive collection for quite a while and has had this F2 on the market at that price for quite a while. Really nice NOS unstarted bike huh?! Hopefully he's taken proper care of the engine over the last 30 years so it will actually start. Wish I had room for a collection.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

Does anyone know much about this bike? It looks like maybe a stocker with fancy bodywork and exhaust? I can see the stock airbox and passenger pegs.

If it had a special frame and engine it would be interesting. Still probably worth 15K though? How much would an unstarted stock bike be worth?

Bog standard 750 with body kit and exhaust, made to look like the Read Isle of Man TT bike, brain cells seem to remember travelling Marshalls had them
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).
