All parts are the original equipment as far as I can tell. The tool kit and rubber battery strap are missing. The bike rolls smooth and straight. The cranks shaft turns when kicked. There is compression. There is oil in the crankcase. I do not know if it will run. The brakes work. The shocks work the way they were intended. I do not know if it has spark. The tires hold air. The battery is dead. The seat sheet metal pan is damaged (cracked) near the rear end of the seat from being used to lift the bike. There are no dents in the frame, fenders or other sheet meal parts. This would be a good candidate for a successful restoration. The bike has been stored inside an outdoor metal garden shed for the past thirty years. Since the shed was not insulated, it did not prevent the bike from rusting. There is some/slight rust on the chrome parts with minor pitting. The shed did provide protection from UV rays that would accelerate the deterioration of the rubber, plastic and vinyl components. The paint has some scratches. The chrome engine guard has the most rusting. The bike comes with a California Certificate of Title. Which means that I will need to provide to the CA DMV a Notice of Release of Liability. So the buyer needs to be present and provide their true name and address when the bike is picked up. The sale will be final and there is no warranty. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!Think Father's Day gift?
