63 coppertone Jag

Picked this Jaguar up today. This one's all original except tires of course. The badge is still floating around in the back of my 4runner :lol: These pics are as bought.

Great looking Jag. I bought one just like it at a swap meet two weeks ago. Mine is missing the tank as well.

Thanks! I do like the copper color too & I think it'll clean up nice. There's very little rust. Guess I'll be on the lookout for a tank! Do the 2 tank tabs mean it came with the slimline tank instead of the full?

Firestonepilot... post up some pics!!

Frame clips are for the slimline. Gary

Lost the bidding on a tank last night on ebay.
But I did but another bike yesterday with the tank.

Spokeshave...what is the rear rack contraption?

 

[Spokeshave]

Contraption is the right word. It looks an attempt at a child seat or rack. It will be trashed when I get around to restoring the bike.

Nice score on your copper jag 8) Wow...you found another? Same color or do have to paint it? I didn't even try to bid on the tank from ebay. Guess I don't want one that bad yet.

No sorry I bought another Schwinn with the same kind of tank.
