1968 Bridgestone 350 GTR project bike, barn fresh. It has been years since this bike has run but the motor is free and it has good compression. The odometer reads 1,168 and I believe that to be true original mileage. The chrome is in OK condition but as the rest of the bike would need restoration to make it a show bike. The rubber parts will need replacement as they are all weather checked as are the original tires. This is the way it is now is just as I received the bike when I bought it. The best thing about it is that it is all there and 100% original. We had every intention of restoring her to new condition but we have too many projects and this would be a long way down the road before we could even get started on it. Parts are still available for this bike on-line and on ebay and they are surpisingly affordable. This is a very rare & quickly appreciating Japanese Vintage Classic and restored I have seen them sell for $15,000+. Take a good look at the photos as I did my best to represent the bike with closeup photos. It's going to take some time, money and work to get her back to her former glory but it will be well worth the investment when done. You just don't see these come up for sale anymore so to find one for sale is very rare as all the collectors are gobbling them up as fast as they become available. Not too many of them were made and I believe this bike will soon become as collectable as a CB750 sandcast or 73 Z1. The engine case is broken above the sprocket from the chain breaking at some time in the past. However I just purchased a complete engine case in perfect condition off ebay and it will be included in the sale.
