Just picked up a barn find today! Well I found it at my brothers and he found it in a barn but anyway thought I would post it. I am into Muscle Bikes and not as much of a big bike guy but know cool when I see it! :D

Sadly a man had to die before we could get the bike. lol No, we have known about this bike for about 15 or more years, and it was stored away.
The owner used to talk about it to anyone who would listen to him. He died about 4-5 years ago and the mans family didn't want anything to do with it.
They knew it was worth something but were not sure what. My brother just bumped into one of them and caught them on the right day.
I called dibs and now I am giving it some love! ☺
 
P.S. Could use some correct grips and seat if anyone has this stuff. ☺
 
I checked the serial numbers and it is a 1951 A3824**

11/19/1951 to be exact. Should have a CT before the serial too. Here's a little something to print out and put with it.

I would love to ad a vintage style logo to the plate, nothing permanent just for fun, I won;t be restoring the bike but I will clean it up, and fix what needs fixed, and maybe repaint the wheel hoops if I cna not find some originals that look close to the bikes condition. ☺

No problem, I was thinking some magnetic letters for it, easily removed, easily painted any color you want, and cheap

I have my own vinyl plotter, and considered cutting something myself. Problem is I want to age it to match the bike so almost needs to be hand painted on. Little undecided right now. ☺
