Moto Guzzi 850 T3 Tonti Frame Eldorado Ambassador loopframe V7 850T3

Up for auction is this barn-find 1975 Moto Guzzi 850 T3.
In the words of Richard Backus from Motorcycle Classics: "The 850T had only been on the market a year before Moto Guzzi introduced what many consider its best motorcycle. Introduced in 1975, he improved 850 T3 (the “3” signifying the triple-disc brakes) was in many ways the most important Moto Guzzi made in the Seventies. Lighter than the touring-oriented California and far more sporting than the also new 949cc, -speed semi-automatic Convert, he 1975 Moto Guzzi 850 T3 was the bridge between the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport and Guzzi’s larger touring bikes."
I gave it a bath, nd here it is. I have not tried to get it to run. The engine turns over, s not frozen. The pictures should tell the story. It was parked running many years ago.
Engine and frame numbers match. It is a 1975 model, lthough it's titled as a '76.
It comes with a notarized, eady to transfer Ohio Title.
Note the Lester wheels, hich are unique and quite sought after. The gas tank is solid with light corrosion inside, ery usable.
The ignition switch is non-original, nd there is no key, lthough I'm told it will be found. Also one of the spark plugs broke when trying to remove it, nd the base is stuck in the head.
In the right hands, his bike could once again live as an original 70's classic, r as a cool custom cafe bike.
I can assist with shipping, nd may be able to deliver in the Cleveland, H area.
