67 305 scrambler be factory with different engine/frame #'s?67 305 scrambler be factory with different engine/frame #'s?I am looking at a 67 Scrambler 305 and the title says CL and the engine matches but the frame says CB. Is this possible? the owner said back then the engine and frame didn't match. He is asking $1250 and I put money down on it. He repainted and restored it. only thing it needs is clutch work which sticks. It has new wiring and only thing not stock is a broken light switch. Is this a great deal?[/img]
The frame should not have a CB frame number. The CB77 has a completely different frame. It looks like the frame may have been re-numbered to match the engine. The numbers do not generally match but they should both carry the same prefix letters.
it is not uncommon to get CB engines in CL Frames but you should not have a CL frame with a CB frame number. G '60 C77 '60 C72 '62 C72 Dream '63 CL72
