To me that is what restoring old iron is all about! That is one beautiful bike.

Re: 1939 Indian 4 on eBay

Also he`s now added info to answer folks questions, which is a mixed bag indicating not a lot of correct owner knowledge!

Seem to be alot of frame number digits there , but first sequence indicates 1938 frame (selling as a 39!)no mention of motor number/if matching.
Be rather interesting for overseas buyers( he only mentions in latest footnote) as US customs require a title before export could take place, as he`s in non title state/bill of sale only

Does not know who built motor, but knows of crankcase repair
Claims linkert is original (incorrect for 39 or a 38)
Obviously won awards at non AMCA events for looking pretty

front brake lever, grips, muffler/tailpipe, aircleaner/carb, speedo, ignition switch, amp meter?, caphead hardware, tires, dimmer switch/screws, plating/kicker arm/breather/clutch linkage, and i can not see if the headlite is correct. i am sure i missed a few, and i am sure some will think i might have made a mistake, or two. like i said, it is a pretty bike....

Re: 1939 Indian 4 on eBay

Bidding ended at $45000 and didn't meet reserve? For a put together bike? This harley and indian shit is totally off the hook.

Seller ended bidding early to now re-list, when he realised it`s a 38 not a 39
Now one bidder at starting price, looks dead in the water now tho!

Re: 1939 Indian 4 on eBay

Well now he`s figured what year the frame is...
Wonder if he`ll get round to a mention of the motor number!
( surprised no e-bayer has asked that yet)
