1973 Suzuki GT380

gt380-31727

THIS IS AN “ALL ORIGINAL” SUZUKI GT-380K SEBRING SERIES WHICH IS VIRTUALLY UNMOLESTED DISPLAYING A MODEST 20, 209 MILES. THESE GT-380’S ARE CONSIDERED THE QUINESSENTIAL AMONG “CULT CLASSIC” SUZUKI AFFICIONADOS DUE TO THEIR THREE CYLINDER DESIGN AND SYMETRICAL OVERALL STYLING. THIS BIKE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN RIDDEN AS IT WAS INTENDED FOR AND ALL COMPONENTS ARE CLEARLY INTACT AS EVIDENCED BY THE IMAGES SHOWN. THE MUFFLERS ARE ORIGINAL WITH THE CORRECT SUZUKI FONTS AND ARE “VERY SOLID” PLUS THEY ALL AMAZINGLY HAVE THE ORIGINAL SUZUKI FACTORY INSTALLED BAFFLES! THE BIKE HAS NOT BEEN RAN FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN AN OLD RETIRED AUTO REPAIR SHOP HERE IN RURAL MISSOURI. THE CARBURETOR SLIDES ARE FROZEN IN THE CARBURETOR BORES AS NO EFFORT WAS MADE TO BRING THE BIKE BACK TO RUNNING STATUS. HOWEVER THIS 380 HAS EXCELLENT COMPRESSION EQUAL ON ALL CYLINDERS AND AN ADEQUATE IGNITION SPARK TO INABLE THE MOTOR TO “HIT” AND RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER INJECTING PREMIX FUEL THROUGH THE SPARK PLUG HOLES. THE FUEL TANK HAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RUST SCALE ON THE INTERIOR SURFACE AND WOULD PROBABLY BE ABLE TO BE PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED TO ACCOMMODATE FUEL AS THE TANK IS ROCK SOLID ALONG THE BOTTOM SURFACE OUTWARDLY. VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE SURFACES HAS EVIDENCE OF AGING AND TO MAKE THE BIKE MINT THESE COMPONENTS WOULD NEED TO BE RE-PAIRED, RE-FINISHED, AND RE-PLATED, HOWEVER THEY ARE “ALL THERE” SO A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF PARTS WOULD HAVE TO BE OBTAINED TO COMPLETE THIS VERY RESTORABLE VINTAGE SUZUKI. THE BIKE STILL POSSESS’S THE ORIGINAL SUZUKI FACTORY SUPPLIED TOOL KIT WITH ALL TOOLS INTACT PLUS A FACTORY SUZUKI DEALER SERVICE MANUAL WILL BE INCLUDED. FRONT AND REAR BRAKES ARE OPERABLE. “ALL” ELECTICAL COMPONENTS FUNCTION INCLUDING HEADLIGHT - HIGH/LOW BEAM, TAILIGHT, REAR BRAKE LEVER STOPLIGHT, TURN SIGNALS, INSTRUMENT GAUGES, HORN, ETC., ETC.. EVEN THE OIL INJECTION SYSTEM AND FACTORY AIRBOX IS STILL PRESENT. THIS SEBRING APPEARS TO BE A BIKE THAT SOMEONE RODE INTO A BUILDING, PARKED IT, AND FOR WHATEVER REASON NEVER RODE IT AGAIN… A CLEAR MISSOURI TITLE IN MY NAME WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE PURCHASER PLUS I WILL BE HAPPY TO ASSIST WITH ANY SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS YOU MAY CHOOSE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK.
