PLEASE READ:

Sonny DePalma painted the chopper in 2001. His signature and date are on the tank, acing the rider. The paint job alone cost $10,000 in 2002. Throughout the bike, here are layers of purple paint, ith slightly lighter purple skulls embedded in the layers. The tank features a large skull on each side, ith a classic Sonny DePalma look. I found 3 minor flaws: some speckling in the paint below the tank on the right side, tiny bit of chrome flaking at the bottom of the right/bottom-side chrome flames, nd a bit of paint chipped off at the very bottom of the front fender. (See photos.)


The date of manufacture is 2002, hen the chopper was completed by Thunder Cycle Designs, ort Lauderdale, lorida. It was built for a man who was 6 feet 2 inches tall.Today, his bike would cost $50k+ to have built.


PLEASE ASK questions that I have not addressed before bidding, s the sale is final.
