oh man ! Read the description....

RETRO CUSTOM HEADTURNER!!!

14,000 Miles / Runs A-1-A / NEW TIRES

Needs Seat Mounts / Battery

Not cosmetically perfect - But Close!

Note:  I am contracted by the owner/seller.  He has a passion for the vintage style bikes and has been scavenging to find them from local owners who have had them tucked away in the back of their garage.  He makes slight modifications to them as he sees necessary.  I have added pictures for you to review.

Please arrange for pick-up.

I'm guessing maybe a Kenworth truck! ;D

Come one guys! Dont we all want to buy things from people that have a van on a jack with a skinny little spare nest to it that will surely fit and a boat sitting on the ground on its hull? I don't know about the rest of you but that is always what I look for in a seller! ::)

I wonder what the reserve is.  I wouldn't pay much more that $500 if I have to go get it.
