1946 indian Chief For Sale, # 8, 3466667/CDG9238. 80" motor with Bonnevile cams and followers. $11,000 with NM title in my name. Add $500 for Motolamp headlight.

VIN #, 3466667, is the frame number. Motor number, CDG9238, is not on the title. Not registered, so, no license plate.

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 good 1946 cases is included if you want "matching numbers".

Bike would make a nice hot rod Bobber. Easier to build, work on, and pay for, than a stock Chief. Adding a 12 volt system with electronic ignition is recommended.
