Picking this up tomorrow, it is a CA95 or a CA160?

I found a supposed 1961, not sure if the year is the actual year of the bike, (told here on the forums that it is either a CA95 or CA160) Honda here in Alabama about 3 hours from myself. I have been told that the motor is seized, but I am going to inspect if it is just the kickstart or if the motor is actually seized. He said that the kickstart will not move. It seems like a neat project, seeing as I am into the air-cooled VW scene, I have a 1967 beetle, 1972 Karmann Ghia, and a 1967 Bus. I am excited about it, it will be my first motorcycle. Any tips and things to look out for would be much appreciated. I figured posting would be better than searching endlessly, which I have been doing anyways. I will try and post pics as they come in and after I pick her up for $300 tomorrow.

Well I don't think its a '61. I do think its a CA95.

Fenders have been hacked a bit front and rear and that looks like a CB350 seat.

So, I am pretty much going to have to wait for tomorrow to see what the hell this thing is exactly it seems.

CA160 and CA95 are quite similar but the CA95 has the can chain on the side. Looks like I can see the cam chain roller bolt on the side of this one.

Well, the guy that owns it is going to send me some more pictures today so hopefully those will help in making sure.

And hopefully he will send the the vin number for it today.
