-Elvis Presley owned one which is on display at Graceland and featured on the the "Elvis Presley Wheels Collection" Series 2 Trading Cards.

-Beautiful eye-popping. head-turning $2000+ custom paintjob featuring House of Kolor Candy-Green Metal-Flake with orange flames by First Place Finishes! Custom pin striping by the famous Ron Brent! Ron has had many of his bikes featured in Easyrider Magazine!

-Manufactured in 1974 & 1975 by Rupp Industries. Inc. founded in 1959 by Mickey Rupp in Mansfield. Ohio.

-This is the more desirable 1975 Two-seater model. It even has a trunk! The 1974 models were only single passenger. -Rupp was famous for manufacturing snowmobiles. go-carts. mini-bikes. and ATV?ˆ™s.

-Rupp Industries had to close their doors in 1978 due to bankruptcy. Rupp vehicles have since become VERY collectible. Centaur prices typically range from $5. 00 to $10. 00 depending on condition. -Originally equipped with a 339cc Kohler Snowmobile SK-340-2AS Oil Injected 2-cycle 2-cylinder. automatic transmission and belt driven centrifugal clutch. It now has a 1981 Yamaha XS-400 392cc Twin. four-stroke 6-speed electric-shift chain-drive motorcycle engine with reverse.

-It is on the road and New York State titled. inspected and registered.  

-Currently it is geared low. so it is not a highway cruiser. This is a great vehicle to take to local neighborhood car cruises or bike nights. It also would make a cool pit bike. St. Patrick's Day parade vehicle or campground cruiser. You might even want to just park it front of (or inside) your business as an eye-catching promotional vehicle!

-The winning bidder will also get all sorts of cool stuff for your next car cruise or bike night. Owner?ˆ™s manual. chassis parts list. rare marketing material. vintage magazines reviewing the Rupp Centaur. matching House of Kolor Candy-Green Metal-Flake helmet and even a matching Dragonfly shirt!

-It also has a JBL GTS 100X High Current Channel Power Amplifier with Boston Acoustics Speakers. There is no receiver installed at this time but I can throw in a Sony CDX-MP70 CD/MP3 Receiver with CD Changer Controls if the winner bidder would like it

-Tires appear to be original. They do not leak but they are showing some age so they will eventually need to be replaced

-Side upholstery is original and is showing some patina but is still presentable

-Rear Dual Inboard Hydraulic Disc Brakes have plenty of stopping power. Front brakes were eliminated.

-Local pickup in Hamburg. NY 14075 or buyer responsible for any and all shipping arrangements. Try Uship. com. They are reliable and cheap
