I've wanted one of these things since I was a little kid and first watched Mad Max. I've been haggling with a buddy over this bike for about ten years - he always said he was going to restore it, but meanwhile a decade has passed and it's only gotten rougher and rougher as it sat in the back of his garage. He finally let it go for $800 (he owed me $200 that I was never going to see so it only cost me $600 out of pocket).
This one is pretty rough cosmetically but it won't take much to get it running. Tank has been treated and is dent free and the wiring is in great shape (rare find on these things). Points have been replaced with CDI and it's got a new clutch.
The plan is a full frame off restoration over the winter. Eventually going to make it into an era-correct drag bike. Lowered, stretched, air shifter, and probably a built 1075cc motor with undercut tranny. I'm knee deep in rebuilding the brakes already.
