There is no top or tonneau cover, I customized to a fair-weather ride. The outside door handles have been shaved. Sony CD player with 2 speakers in the panel behind the riders (stereo). No spare tire, but the mounting is there. Included is the original shop manual. Uses premium grade gad with lead supplement. Has a clean title.

History:

Been in the family since the early 70’s. Selling as no one in the family wants it and I don’t drive it enough to justify keeping it. I have done all of the upkeep/restoration except for the tuning of the valves and carbs. I have driven less than 900 miles since 2002.
