I'm pretty sure it's our old buddy Fun.

The body is either a '68 or '69. Maybe the frame is a '74.

Thats not hard to get around though. All you need is a different IP address and a new email account.

Ditto.

Why wouldn't he come here and list it local, instead he goes to the main forum, craigslist, and ebay.

Obviously a fake, the bezel is upside down

I don't think he would list here. If you recall, he wasn't very welcome here.

well, I can see that you might want to relocate the gas tank to get the two seats to even height, but why would you relocate the battery it's not like space was needed on the passenger side for the alternator so as to be able to put a power steering pulley in on the driver side (it's got no PS )

also, if it was recently down to bare metal, how come the bed has all these rust spots

no way to source a wiper motor ?.....(if it's a late 60s frame, the early model singles are still availabe OEM, AFAIK)

something just doesn't look right about the brake master cylinder, either - lacks a booster ? it's not a '74 chassis why is it declared such




partswise: I would be interested in the brush guard.....


is this the rig we saw on Chiva a couple years ago and they didn't wave

 

[Relix]

hmm battery+fuel tank next to each other....

 

[Cantinero]

I agree 100%, I guess I just phrased it wrong. It should have been a statement not a question. I remember those sonoran days all too well.

Is it missing the PS inner wheel well, or has it been modified to be that open? I would hate to clean that mess up after a rainy day trail ride.

I owned that roll cage for a couple of month, just found a picture of that roll cage in Tim Hills yard from two years ago when I traded it to him...I didn't remember using the term "Competition Roll cage" back then...
