The owner says it runs, has a 1967 motor that replaced the original motor. I gues HD made flatheads till 73? I don't know enough about Harley's this old to know if this is worth buying, or run away. Thoughts?

 

How much are they asking?

 

because it might have a look a like paint job of a 1939 with a 1967 motor its a 1967 - if it has a 1939 title and a 1967 motor ita only worTh paRTS MONEY

early bikes like have to have the first 2 numbers match the year like there must be 39 if its a 1939 if it is a 1967 then 67 first 2 numbers on the left side center top of the engine cases - 39 WL 1234 -- 39 WLD 1234 - G is the servi car motor and WLA - WLC is military engines

it has a mix of different parts all 45 but cant tell if some are re pops

 

67GE 1153 is stamped on the motor.

 

$8,000

 

Motor came out of a 67 Servicar (45 cu in side valve). And yest the servcar was used until 1973. Reg/title goes by motor so it is in fact a 67 in sheeps clothing.

Don't know about prices but as long as you realize it is not original, it could still be (by the look of it) a great rider.

 

That sounds like a valid serial number for a 1967 Servi-Car engine and it complies with the 1960–69 even-odd code. But was the serial number stamped at the factory? H-D used certain stamps so before you make an offer on the machine it’s a good idea to try to determine if the serial number is authentic. If you post a photo of the serial number you’ll get some opinions. Also check the belly numbers stamped underneath each case half and please let us know what they are. Photos of the belly numbers would also help.

the AMCA event is june 12 and 13 - always some nice stuff available - http://www.rhinebecknationalmeet.com/

i am a vender at that event i have a 45 for sale but its a basket case but a very low number one - i have a 1942 WLD the special hi compression model - harley started building them in sept of 1941 and december 7 1941 came along - right after that nothing but military was to be built - only 143 WLs built for 1942 and some 75 1942 WLDs were ever built
