1953 Indian Chief For Sale - Restored from New Old Stock Parts
This bike took 30 years of one mans passion to assemble. In 1964 Bob Stark purchased the frame and motorcases. Starting a bike restoration with so few pieces seemed daunting. However, what he decided to do is incredible. He spent 30 years researching, locating, and obtaining New Old Stock parts to complete the restoration of this 1953 Indian Chief. A bike can be restored many times, but it can only be considered new one time. This bike is the closest that can ever be obtained to factory new. We unwrapped parts from original factory wrapping, cleaned them up and installed them on this one of a kind motorcycle. This bike has been completely restored and assembled by Bob Stark, Owner of Starklite Cycle. It is ready to ride. (Although if you do ride the bike we would recommend changing the tires to a new tire instead of the original Dunlops that are currently on the bike). This bike is probably the only New Old Stock 1953 Indian Chief in the world! We have not started the bike. When the bike is sold we will give the winning bidder the option to have us start this New Old Stock Bike, or keep it as a showpiece. If you have any questions please call us at 951-968-3070 and we will answer any questions about this unique motorcycle Partial Listing of New (Original) Parts: Seat Seat Rail Headlight Fenderlight Dunlop Tires Handlebars etc. Color: Black Engine: Indian 80 Cubic Inch with compensator sprocket and clutch brake Transmission: Indian Three Speed Engine #CS61145 Frame #CS61145 Video: A link to Bob Stark talking about this remarkable restoration. Documentation: We have the original Bill of Sale and California title from 1964 when we purchased the bike showing the matching engine and frame numbers. Bid today on this one of a kind motorcycle. One like this will probably never come around again in our lifetimes. Shipping: Starklite Cycle can arrange shipping of this bike world wide. We can crate the bike for an additional fee and handle all export paperwork, or all domestic shipping paperwork. Contact us if you have any questions. Payment: A $1,000 deposit is required upon the end of the Auction. The remaining balance is to be paid within 10 days of end of auction. Contact us for any questions.  Payment is expected within 10 days of auction close, unless prior arrangements had been made. If payment is not received within 10 days a Non-Paying Bidder (NPB) warning will be filed with eBay. A negative feedback will be left if the buyer does not answer the NPB warning within 10 days. I am a reasonable person and as long as the communication channels are open and clear, I have no problems accomodating special circumstances.
