This bike was purchased in 1970 still in a crate from an Army Navy surplus dealer. It was originally Army green in color but I took it down and painted it in black emeron with some parts being chromed plated. I registered it and drove it for two years. Since approximately 1975 it has been stored indoors but the chrome and some parts now have rust. The bike was running when I parked it and I still hit the kick start from time to time to make sure it still turns over. This bike could be made to run with some TLC. I would estimate that it could be brought back to restored condition for approximately 2 to 3 thousand. In restored condition it should be valued between 12 and 15 thousand dollars. I have copies of the original bill of sale and I turned in the originals to get a Florida title in 2005. It still has the original tires on it!
