Indian Chief description

I got this bike last month from an estate, it had been sitting as an indoor display for years.

I got it running and it all works fine, runs & rides good. Ive put about 100 miles on it since it then.

the paint looks pretty good, but theres a few small marks & scratches, & one lifted chip near the right gas cap, see pics.

frame & engine numbers do not match. The title says its a 1940, & its titled to the engine, which going by the numbers, CCH, is a 38. the frame # is really hard to read but looks like its dated 45.

the correct 1938 cylinders are there, and in nice shape. the heads look to be from the 40s

as far as I know, the parts are original, not repop, but I'm no indian expert.

shipping is up to the buyer, but I can help arrange enclosed shipping anywhere in the US for 450.00, with an actual bike shipper, not some clown from u-ship with a 30 year old pickup loaded with goats.

overseas buyers are welcome, but shipping is up to you.

full payment due within 7 days, 500 deposit due upon purchase thru paypal
the balance to be paid with a check, bank transfer, or cash at pickup.

I dont mind storing it for a month if you want to come get it or arrange shipping

email with any questions

First Polaris-era 2012 Indian Motorcycle Rolls Off Spirit Lake Assembly Line

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

A new era has begun as the first Indian Motorcycle under the ownership of Polaris Industries has been produced at the company’s Spirit Lake, Iowa, factory. The landmark first Polaris-owned Indian won’t be heading right to the showroom floor however; instead, it will undergo extensive testing and evaluation by Polaris. As such, this particular Indian Chief Vintage, and the rest of the 2012 Indian line, will be fairly similar to Indian’s previous offerings, save for some minor updates to catch any issues Polaris already discovered.
