1946 Indian Chief For Sale, #7, 3464044/CDG7668. $13,500 with NM title in my name. Add $2500 for OEM Corbin speedometer assembly and OEM NOS Motolamp headlight.

No junk or damaged parts unless specifically noted. All parts are good and usable, requiring normal restoration methods.

The bike is NOT "matching numbers" by AMCA standards: Motor and frame are different years. A set of 1946 cases is included if you prefer "matching numbers".

Bike would make a nice custom or a stock Chief. I ran the dual exhaust for awhile. Adding a 12 volt system with electronic ignition is recommended.
