1950 Indian Chief For Sale, #3, C-2335/C-2157. Price when ready to sell. NM title in my name.

This will be a running and driveable motorcycle. Not registered, no license plate.

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

The bike is a "matching numbers" by AMCA standards: 1950 frame and 1950 motor are the same year. 1000 Chiefs were made in 1950. The second 500 started with serial number C-2001.

This bike is a good candidate for restoration or modest customizations, to make it a reliable and fun daily rider. Matt Blake can make the 2 year only front and rear fenders.

Not this one, but I set up my 80" Chiefs with a 12 volt system and a Cycle Electric generator, electronic ignition, a mid-1990's Harley CV carburator" and Greer Crank Vent.
