I acquired this machine a few months ago, nd brought it back to stock form, rom race trim, sing the parts that came with it.( The pictures showing the stock parts as found are the ones used on this machine, here is not a extra set). The original owner bought this machine new in New York, nd campaigned it successfully at Englishtown drag strip and at Atco drag strip, acking up at least 6 documented class wins in Pro Stock. It was then parked in 1974. The original new York inspection sticker is still on the fork tube,The Kendall and S-K tools stickers were due to them being track sponsors in that period. All the spares were wrapped in SOCKS. Istarted it 2 days after it was recovered,and it is running on the original points and plugs, hich was accomplished with only a carb clean and fluid change, nd it is still running and you can drive it home on the original plugs and points. ( I will also supply a new set of points, ondenser, tc.). The spares that will be included, pictures are within the link I will provide )which include the original owners track side tool bo, OS spokes, ONE SET )factory shock tool, ome hand made tools of his, OS cam cover or primary screws, nd too many other numerous spares to list. Some of these are NOS spark plugs, around 5 or 6) 3 NOS countershaft sprockets, NOS carb rebuild kit, ll of the race parts I removed, he original front tire, he drag slick, he machined aluminum struts, rag pipes, he owners running notes and notebook, he service manual, he spare parts book, nd the 1973 supplement. I will also include as much of I can from my stock of engine gaskets. All the indicator lights are functional. I replaced a couple of the lenseswith NOS ones. It is charging properly, hifts and clutches properly as well, nd does not smoke. I removed the spark plugs to inspect the cylinders, nd with the pistons TDC, t shows new pistons with no visible carbon.( See the owners notes about Dytch piston fitment). I can not guarantee these are Dytch pistons, s I did notdisassemble any part of the motor, ut what I see leads me to believe they are. I also suspect cams, racing clutch, nd stroker flywheels ( again see the notations the original owner noted in the bore and stroke specifications photo, here he noted a different bore and stroke next to the factory specs.The original key switch was inop, Still has factory paper isolator intact on the back side of it. ) so I bought a original switch that works, ut it drops the keys, o for now it is running on a accessory after market switch.( No wires were cut, nd the original dis- assembled switch and the replacement original I bought are also included ). The paper disc isolator is still intact behind the rear brake light switch, s well as the yellow dot on the carb ( factory marked). I installed a new air filter, tires and tubes, nd a new headlight bulb, nd new battery. I chose to leave the patina as best I coul, hile waxing as much of it as well, o preserve it as is. There is a 2 inch nick in the very back of the seat (shown in pics), ot through to the foam,It is my opinion, his machine would score the high 90's if judged, nd will win your local show hands down. The title was transferred Mondaylast week, nd a copy kept of the original. I have written a log of all I have done as well, s well as extra photographs of it in progress. If you are interested in purchasing, lease feel free tocontact me. The NADA blue book is 8750.00, nd with all the documented history, OS spares, nd the race parts included, e feel it exceeds that. The video of it running has some lag in the sound due to being too close with the camera microphone. It does rev quite nicely. The head gaskets show a little seepage, ut all it may need is torqued down, was focused on making it start. I will add a complete top end gasket set to be sure if it needs it you have . I will consider doing that myself if some arrangement is made, ontact me for details. ( In reality, hough, e-gasketing a top end is a no-brainer) It is, n essence, a time capsule. I am not accepting any trades. Pleasecontact me with your email fora video of it running the first 2 days it was recovered .Thank you for looking, I hope you enjoy. here is the link to additional photographs- http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/Bruce_Kiper/library/ Here is a video I described, failed to post the first time. This was 2 days after I purchased this year.https://youtu.be/XXrKHOFJAAo I will assist in International shipping as well.
