Recently a 1953 Chief did not sell for $49,900 on Ebay. I inquired about this Chief in 2011 from Bob Stark who I did business with when putting together my first Chief in 1975 while in the military. In 1995 time-frame I actually visited Bob's location, etting permission to take a few photographs.

Two of my current photo's reveal the recent auction results but also the picture sent to me in 2011 by Bob Stark.

Fully aware that 1953 was the "last" year for a Chief under the original Indian ownership, he 1951 Chief I am selling is nearly every bit as unique for the hard to come by chrome trim, ondition, tc.

It also has history behind it at the man who owned this previously was Vern Goodwin who along with his father and grandfather had a long term history of involvement with Indian going back to the 1940's, tc.

My "reserve" is less than what the final bid was on the 1953 Chief!
