1961 Honda CA

C77-70533

Rebuilt, Rebuildable & Reconstructed

Mint condition, fully-restored 1961 CS77 Dream Sport which has undergone a ground up renovation to new, museum-quality condition. This is the non-US  version with the very cool sheet metal handlebars and full winker system. Restoration costs were in excess of $14,000 according to previous owner. Just finding one of these bikes, that is intact enough to restore, would cost at least $3-4k. Add the purchase price to the restoration costs and you get close to a $20k investment. I am listing this for a friend who purchased the bike within the last year and needs to sell it for an upcoming vintage car project. The bike is located in San Clemente, CA, about an hour away from me. Local and international shipping can be arranged, but local pick-up is the first choice. Crating and shipping fees are the responsibility of the buyer. The bike has an NOS seat, exhaust system and the cool rear tail light assembly, featuring the illuminated "DREAM 300," panel, plus lots of re-chromed and refinished parts from top to bottom and front to back. Sold with a bill of sale, at this moment. The bike could be titled to export for about $100 in CA. ID info (rare matching numbers): Engine--  C77-170533 Frame---  C77-61-70533 Honda did sell a CSA77 Dream Sport in the US for the 1961 model year, but that one had tubular handlebars on it and the winkers were deleted, using a 267 product code. The number 7 in the serial numbers denotes a true Dream Sport, as built from the factory in 1961. The bike is currently in display/stored condition and will need a fully-charged battery and fresh fuel to bring it back to life, once again.On Nov-24-12 at 11:28:45 PST, seller added the following information: ATTENTION BIDDERS!  Bidding is getting VERY CLOSE to reserve!
