This looks nice but a little expensive. Pity about that seat cover....

G,

For that kind of asking price, especially when he's saying it would be on eBay for 10K, I would have hoped for a correct restoration. I see a few later issue parts that are not correct for 1962.

Add up the latter parts you see and I'd say it is a 1964. ..................lm

I can't tell for sure if the carbs are oval bowls or not. "ANYONE"?
I sure wish I still had those speedo's. .....................lm

The colour ain't right, IMHO!

The carbs have flat-sided bowls, Ed:

Rear shocks are later, too. They would have been early style with steel tops and cast-in lower clevis.
