Is it a matching numbers bike? I seriously doubt that it is. That motor is way to clean to have sat in that frame for 42 yrs. And what's up with that hideous headlight housing that they started to spray paint and stopped?
If the motor is sound and the numbers match and the bike runs down the road that's a decent price. I would offer $4,000 - $4,500 and go from there. Just my opinion.
Lots of new old stock Shovelhead parts on ebay and other places. If you got it I would piece it together with parts like that instead of China bullshit....

Funky numbers start laughing and walk away.

Well, like Twizted said you could walk away. If the frame vin and motor vin match you will have a better chance of selling it in the future, regardless of how you chop it. That means that motor and frame have been together for 42 yrs and that's all good. All original parts are for sell on the net. IF you plan on keeping it and making it look like the other pic you posted I wouldn't be afraid to pay $4,500 as long as the bike runs down the road good.
There's less and less of these Shovels for sale every day.

Not even, that thing in the picture is a fat FXR, motor & 5 speed trans bolted together and rubber mounted in the frame. Last thing you want to try and do a custom with.
FLH or any FX series shovel is rigid mount in the frame with a 4 speed trans. These you can work with for customizing and most things will fit with little tweaking.
