1974 Ducati 750 GT

Offered for auction is my 1974 Ducati 750 GT twin.  In the last few years interest in the bevel drive roundcase Ducatis has exploded. The 750SS is now priced where Broughs were a few years ago. and the 750 Sports are selling in Vincent Rapide territory. The GTs have experienced a surge in interest as well. but for the moment they remain the last affordable Ducati twins of that period. Many say that they are the most enjoyable on the road too. given their less radical riding position.

This is a matching number 750 GT. built in February of 1974. It comes with a clear matching number title. ready to transfer into your name. It was last running & riding in the summer of 2013. when it was parked to sort out some electrical problems. At some point someone swapped out the handlebar switch for a later unit. and also installed aftermarket coils and a mickey mouse fuse setup under the seat. The new fuses were removed. and currently the harness is not connected to anything under the seat (it ends inside the Aprilia fuse box. but it is not connected). This bike would be an easy Winter project to clean up and get back on the road. It was repainted several years ago to a non stock color. but it was done very professionally. Other than the replaced rear shocks and the removed turn signals/air filters (which every new owner seemed to do back then). the bike seems to be about 95+% stock.  The case halves are matching number. and the front and rear rims are the original Borrani aluminum parts. Even the factory toolkit is under the seat. Machines in this condition are getting pretty difficult to find after 40 years.

Only about 1. 00 of these bikes were imported to the USA. and a good many of those did not survive their first few owners. A lot of the early GTs were also converted to "Sport spec". to where there are probably more early wideframe Sports "surviving" than were ever made! So if you are thinking about an early Ducati Twin to add to your collection. this is a good time to act.

Please ask all questions before bidding or buying. Payment expected within one week of auction end. and the bike must be picked up/shipped within one month of auction end. Overseas sales are no problem. but I cannot help with shipping quotes. Personal checks are OK. but this will delay shipment. No trades - other than cash. :-) Sorry but the bike does not move before the payment arrives. no exceptions. I don't end auctions early. so please don't ask. Good luck bidding! 

-----------------------------------------------

One addition: someone mentioned that the mufflers on the bike are actually from a 900 Ducati. so they are a few years newer. So bidders please note that if you want to go 100% stock you'll need to change these too (but you can also sell the ones on there and use that money towards the other mufflers).
