Nice find.  How did you convince him to sell it to you for $1?

in mass you can not get cars or bikes for free due to paper work stuff

Nice man, I have a 78k out back behind my dads shed that looks just like that, only in brown. Kind of a back burner project to be for us, since he had one brand new in 78 identical to it. Good luck with it man.

Wow!  I'd let you get a couple hundred times your investment if you'll get it to me (Chicago-ish). 

Great find.  That was an incredible deal.  Assume you need basic tune-up parts, tires, saddle cover, possibly paint and you're in great shape.  I just love my K6 and I think you'll enjoy your find. 

Wow!
