I am selling a '78 rolling chassis. Frame has new rear gussett and "bumper" crossmember (which is over $450.00 in parts). Passenger side rear 6" or so has been "repaired". The driver's side could have used the same repair in my opinion.

Engine:
2F w/ stock carb/dizzy/etc. Just got it fired up tonight with a little gas in the carb, no fuel tank connected. Here's a real short video I took w/ my phone to show it fired right up after sitting a couple of years.

I'll have cold compression numbers in a couple of days. The cluster had 44,377 on the clicker, but I have absolutely no idea if that is 144, 244, or even original to this cruiser.

Transmission:
Stock 4-spd. Probably need synchros, like every other tranny of this vintage. I have never driven this beast, but PO says it shifted fine.

TC:
Stock 4-spd case. Shifts easily 2/4 and hi/lo.

Axles:
Stock. Disc front, drum rear. Knuckles are clean. Warn hubs.

Stock wheels & $hitty roller tires.

$1,200 w/ VIN tag (matches frame)
$1,100 w/o VIN
